Thanks, great stuff! One thing you say it's been tested with 
2.067.1, but for this version it gives the following error 
message:


containers/experimental_allocator/src/std/experimental/allocator/common.d(337):

Perhaps we need an explicit way to tell the compile we want to

I have never doubted that you are who you say you are. I am not even

I do not know that. Then again, I most likely live in a different
country with different take on patents. Here it would probably be a
civil issue, not a criminal one. Also, in a world of software, patents
were awarded for a bunch of stupid things (see 1-click patent), so
having a pending patent does not say that much.

do you plan to submit PR to extend plattform support of the

I'm not a dmd dev, but I'm not sure it will be accepted, since 
phobos is very unstable. We have to be cautious about making 
dmd breakable easily by a change to phobos.


Of course, I think there is a baseline dmd/gdc/ldc that must 
be used to build dmd, so perhaps as long as you use phobos 
features that work there, it will be OK.


Plenty of Phobos is stable and hasn't changed in quite a while. 
We do sometimes deprecate stuff still, but there isn't much 
that gets deprecated at this point, and the deprecation cycle 
is about two years. The common problem would be regressions, 
and the compiler gets those as much or more often than Phobos 
does. But it is true that some stuff in Phobos changes 
occasionally, and that could affect how new a compiler you need 
to compile the current dmd.


Regardless of that though, I know that at least some of the dmd 
developers are against using Phobos simply because they don't 
want the dependency. It simplifies things if Phobos isn't in 
the mix. If you have to track down and fix a regression in the 
compiler, that's easier to do if you don't have to worry about 
the standard library being in the mix. The less that the 
compiler depends on, the less that the compiler devs have to 
worry about affecting the compiler. And if we need anything to 
be sure of anything working right, it's the compiler. Sure, 
there are some things in the standard library that might be 
nice to use in the compiler, but that doesn't mean that it's 
necessarily worth pulling in Phobos as a dependency, and if 
it's something that's really useful, maybe it's worth 
duplicating in the compiler code - or even making a version of 
it that's tailored to the compiler's needs.


- Jonathan M Davis


LOL.
Using « pure » D in DDMD is ugly. Then why even compiler was 
converted ?
Using phobos in ddmd is helpful - it will help to detect 
regressions in phobos.

There's an autotester so i don't think it can break the things.

* Support 2.068 syntax. The only thing that really changed is 
that
  "inline" and "mangle" are now on the list of "pragma" 
autocomplete suggestions.

* Add "__LINE__", "__FILE__", and other built-in symbols to
  autocomplete suggestions.
* Correctly expand the current working directory when starting 
the

  server with -I options specifying relative paths.
* Fixed many bugs:

Thanks, great stuff! One thing you say it's been tested with 
2.067.1, but for this version it gives the following error 
message:


containers/experimental_allocator/src/std/experimental/allocator/common.d(337): 
Error: module meta is in file 'std/meta.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = containers/src
import path[1] = msgpack-d/src
import path[2] = libdparse/src
import path[3] = dsymbol/src
import path[4] = containers/experimental_allocator/src

I had to use 2.068.0 to compile it.


[Textadept]

Why do I get this error when placing the dmd folder in 
~./textadept/modules


.textadept/modules/dmd/init.lua:355: table index is nil

I get the same error when I place it in the 
"textadepthome"/modules


So far I haven't been able to make Dscanner work with Textadept.

Don't forget, Phobos library maintainers love to use new features
everywhere.  Tagging many functions with @nogc almost weeks after it was
introduced in master was the last major backwards breaking change you
did that I'm aware of.



Because the compiler and library releases go in lockstep we'd have to 
wait for another release cycle to even field-test @nogc. Not acceptable 
really.


Phobos ends up battle testing every new feature and if it wasn't new 
features will be definitely shipped in a broken state. Let's not forget 
that new D frontend features still have many bugs that stay undetected 
even after testing in Phobos.

Surely the compiler should always rely on the previous compiler + standard
library versions.

Is there really a valid reason not to do this? Surely if the dog food is so
bad no one should be eating?

1st Ever Artificial Consciousness to be Written in D Language

[GrandAxe via Digitalmars-d-announce]

This is to inform the D Language community that the first viable 
general artificial algorithm is being written in D. It is called 
Organic Big data intelligence (OBI); the website is at 
www.okeuvo.com.


Some of its capabilities are:

1. Ability to learn
2. Ability to analyse
3. Problem solving
4. Moral judgement
5. Ability to feel emotions
6. Free will
7. Consciousness
8. Self awareness

D Language was chosen for its versatility. It is a language with 
high level syntax and low capabilities, as well as excellent 
performance and being open source.


Unnetworked personal mobile devices are the target platform for 
the standard implementation of OBI. A demonstration release is 
scheduled for the end of this month (September 2015). The 
demonstration release will comprehend English prose only, later 
releases will be able to process input from other languages, as 
well as sensory input.

OBI will be a mixture of open and closed source modules.

To God be the Glory.

It's Textadept 8.1 by the way (64bit Linux)


I've fixed the bug (for me):

Your version still assumes pre 8.0 where LANGUAGE_MODULE_PREFIX 
is defined in textadept/core/keys.lua


M.LANGUAGE_MODULE_PREFIX = (not OSX and not CURSES and CTRL or 
META)..'l'


However, this field was removed in 8.0 alpha:

http://foicica.com/textadept/CHANGELOG.html

I simply replaced
[keys.LANGUAGE_MODULE_PREFIX]
with
['l']

in lines 352 and 372.

I suggest you update your code in 
https://github.com/Hackerpilot/textadept-d. Maybe there's a 
more generic way than just using 'l'.


Recte: It should be 'cl' not 'l'.

I am hoping that DMD will be refactored to be a showcase for 
idiomatic D. I think that would help a lot, but in terms of 
attracting new developers, PR and general eco system improvements.


Andrei mentioned a new versions of his book being on the horizon. 
I assume that also means that the language spec will change and 
that there will be a need for a new hands to help implement it.
