I saw this: With real data, this produced a list of ~40 houses with all relevant information included Well, my company is doing a mathematics based pricing analysis based on properties (an enhanced multi dimensional regression analysis approach). See: http://www.nlpp.ch So, if you want to see how the prices shouldbe and which criteria drives the costs, let me know. Houseprices would be a nice showcase I wanted to do for some time. I'd definitely like to see this. I wanted to try out something similar, but working with unsold houses meant that all the data was in flux (especially price). A more detailed analysis based upon already-sold houses would be quite interesting!

Heh, I wrote something similar (much much simpler) to find the best hotel for DConf 2013. The program extracted the hotel's geographical coordinates, and then queried the Google Maps API to find the one that had the shortest public transit time assuming we wanted to arrive at 8:30 AM. Since then, I started doing it for all important purchases - TV, AC unit, laptop... The laptop program used a score model like yours. The biggest issue is that it's hard to find accurate information on household hardware, especially since there are a myriad models for each tiny European market. Here's the hotel program (list.txt is a list of booking.com URLs): http://dump.thecybershadow.net/2ebca3f47b801aed0104585f60b9587e/scan.d By the way, does your blog have a RSS feed for D posts? Then I could add it to Planet D. Heh, good to know that other people have taken similarly clever approaches to decision making :) I don't have a D-specific RSS feed (my blog's fairly simple, since I haven't written many posts) but I have one for all posts: http://philpax.me/news.rss. In the future, I'll consider adding categories and category-specific RSS feeds.

I would've preferred that, as I wanted to screen it by the D community before having it linked to elsewhere. Not a huge deal, though.

Unfortunately, I don't know of an alternative way to do this safely using only the standard library; it seems, this crucial functionality is missing. I've asked here: TypeScript compiler doesn't accept stdin pipes, I tried using Unix fifo but since I'm not an Unix expert, couldn't figure it out. The last thing was using a temporary file -- which also sounds not good to me :) I was going to make a PR to use pipes, but also found that `tsc` sadly doesn't support stdin/stdout. But they have an as-of-yet unimplemented enhancement request; they probably wouldn't refuse a PR: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/1226 As for FIFOs, they unfortunately don't work on Windows... (and NTFS _does_ support symlinks!) The second thing is that you're using `pipeShell()`, which takes only the entire command as a parameter. Because this command will be interpreted by the shell, you have to make sure that all you're arguments are correctly escaped. However, in your case you don't actually need a shell; `pipeProcess()` is a better solution, because it takes the argument list as an array: auto pipes = pipeProcess( [tsc, inputFileName, --out, outputFileName], Redirect.stderrToStdout | Redirect.stdout ); It really makes sense, I'm going to update -- you also can open a PR. https://github.com/f/diet-typescript/pull/1

Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. http://deadcodedev.steamwinter.com Thanks Jonas Hi, This is an impressive work. I's really nice to see a presentation of how much help can be provided from the D editor and existing language labiaries. I have several questions as well: 1. Was the libdparser integrated with extension system or is it embedded in the core? 2. What are the dependencies? 3. How hard it would be to change the feellook of the gui as it is in conventional editors (Visual, MonoDeveop, GtCreator, Eclipse). I mean menus, buttons, views etc? Cheers, Piotrek
