Please try to come in person for free food and maybe a free copy of

The venue:

  Innowest
  764 San Aleso Ave, Sunnyvale, CA



I'll be attending.  I would really like to bring some of my 'exotic'
female friends who have shown interest in D, but is D's gatherings still
white males only?  I haven't seen any posting regarding rule changes, so
I thought I ask.


Please bring your time machine as well. Does it run on D?

Thanks guys.

I just came up with a nifty little patch that makes it possible 
to ensure that a function is _only_ used at ctfe.

Or the opposite.

static assert(__ctfe, "This function is not supposed to be called 
outside of ctfe");
and static assert(!__ctfe, "This function is not supposed to be 
called during ctfe");


similarly you can use static if (__ctfe).

Is it worth trying to get it into master ?

Don't listen to him, he's trying to sharpen your mind.

If you don't want to use a famous name, then at least use a 
non-female name.  The sad reality is that most guys in the 
industry perceive females as inferior, so using a name like 
'tanya' will have a poor effect on your project.  You want to 
reach as many minds as possible, regardless of how good or bad 
your library is, so pick a manly name.


The name should reflect what you're doing, the service, the 
quality. I mean sure using the Bill Hicks moniker will get you 
attention at the start, but people will quickly realise it's a 
scam, you're advertising 28 days matured sirloin but giving them 
shoe leather soaked in piss.
