Hello, A new alpha of CE is available:

The two latest releases put the focus on the editor:
- identifier markup improved.
- split view.
- macro recording state clearly indicated.
- fix (highlighter, cache restoration when workspace is 
reloaded).
- more shortcuts (prev/next location, ddoc, call tips, macro 
recording,

synchro-edit)
- more options.

Also it's now possible to specify the favorite compiler in the
applications options
- for DUB: dmd, gdc and ldc are obviously supported.
- for the CE projects (aka "native projects"): dmd and ldc are 
supported.


A new widget, "Dfmt commander", has been added. It's a GUI for 
Dmft. It
works automatically on the selected editor and it processes 
documents in

memory only.

Download links and detailed changelog:

https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/releases/tag/2_alpha_4
(see also previous release since I haven't announced it here).


Thanks again for dfmt support.
But ugh, I get access violation(message window) when it formats.


Problem fixed now, I've moved two times the git tag and updated 
the binaries.


To the newcomers, don't forget to read the wiki, coedit 
documentation is part of the software:

Clone dlangui and dlangide into the same directory (!!!)
Inside dlangui directory create directory /deps and clone 
dependencies into it (as described in readme).

Open dlangui/dlangui-msvc.sln
In workspace, select dlangide as a startup project.
Build dlangide.

As well you can try to build other projects (e.g. dmledit, 
tetris, example1) - does it work?


Simple Hello World project compiles and runs okay.

I did do that. My directory structure is like this:
DCode/dlangide
DCode/dlangui
DCode/dlangui/deps/

Which I assume is what you are describing.
I just tried opening the setup I had from last time (ie 
dlangui-msvc.sln) and compile that (startup project set and all), 
now I get

http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html
OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : OUT
OPTLINK : Error 12: Number Overflow : 
Building Debug\dlangide.exe failed!

I'm starting to think that either my VS or VD installation is 
cursed (I recently reinstalled VS though, so that shouldn't be 
it, maybe VD? But it generally works and I do have the latest 
stable version of it).


I redid my setup again right now, though, but apparently the 
current master has some compiler errors:
src\dlangui\core\files.d(264): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (lastSlash + 1LU) of type ulong to uint
src\dlangui\core\files.d(354): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (start) of type ulong to uint.


After crudely fixing these with cast(uint) I got it to build 
though.
So, something about my computer is definitely cursed (I ran the 
EXACT same commands as always - basically straight copy-paste 
from the Readme in DlangIDE and I didn't notice any changes to 
this file since I first did the setup).


Anyhow, it finally builds! \o/

Thanks a lot for the help and putting up with my incompetence at 
diagnosing issues through this, will probably start hacking away 
on things as time permits :-)

Nice work though! 'Tis very cool.

It looks quite nifty!

Then why is HTTP 2 moving away from it? And Web Sockets?
Clearly, having the choice between keeping state and not keeping
state is preferable to HTTP taking that choice away from you.

Lots of apps also spend quite an effort to mimic stateful 
communication
on top of HTTP. Sessions? Authentication tokens? Cookies? 
Caching

in the browser? HTML5 Local Storage?

No, HTTP did not get "stateless" right.


Yep, the whole stateless argument is a complete joke, it has not 
been true except maybe in the very beginning.  HTTP 2 is a huge 
step forward for this, its binary encoding, and other reasons.



Your "fix-the-network" problem is definitely valid.

At this point we have mostly focused on ION - the binary object 
/ message format for IAP.
However, we have a pretty good idea about how IAP will work on 
a conceptual

level.

IAP will have a set of "semantic protocols". Each semantic 
protocol can address
its own area of concern. File exchange, time, RPC, distributed 
transactions,

P2P, streaming etc.

You can also define your own semantic protocol to address 
exactly your specific
situation (e.g. the Byzantine Generals Problem - distributed 
consensus).


Everything is not yet in place - but we will get there step by 
step.


Interesting effort, I'll check it out.
