Sure, but even if it is simple, there should be some standardized 
way to do this. To not force the people to invent the set 
interface in every project again and again. And newcomers will 
look for it in the standard docs, and not in ancient manuscripts. 
I mean it isn't obvious that one should use void[0][T]...

With regards to Sets missing from the language:

-
struct Set(T)
{
void[0][T] set;  // void[0] should not allocate (according to
ancient manuscripts)
alias set this;

void put ( ) ( auto ref T input )
{
this.set[input] = [];
}
}

void main ( )
{
Set!int set;

set.put(1);
set.put(5);

assert(1 in set);
assert(5 in set);
assert(4 !in set);
}
-

I'm not sure about any special syntax which is expected for languages
which have built-in sets. It would probably be overkill to add syntax
support, but I'm not sure how often people use set literals or not.

This is indeed really cool.

How gracefully does it handle when the console is of limited

bigger size and then moving around in console?

DlangUI provides "layouts" similar to Android ones, which should 
reflow and resize widgets for different screen sizes.
As well, app may load layouts from DML markup file - different 
for different screen size (as it's done in Android).


To simulate bigger screen, it's possible just to place controls 
inside ScrollWidget - and you would be able to move it with 
scrollbars.

Such feature may be useful, e.g. to run apps on headless 
devices, or via SSH.


For simple apps, it's enough just to specify dlangui 
configuration console. No additional changes required.


If custom themes are used, additional theme files prefixed with 
"console_" are to be created.
If custom embedded resources are used, create additional 
resource list file, with "console_" prefix.


Margins, padding, size values if specified in pixels are to be 
changed.
Hint: use points or EMs for such values to get them working

If images/icons are used, and still needed in console mode, you

Its not childish at all, if you could show a chart of visits and downloads
vs news announcements its likely there is a correlation. However I think
these days most of us that are researching alternatives only do so when
necessary, so there is a chance that your work now will only pay off later
when someone finds D and wants to check its pedigree.

Jokes aside, people do what they know, and are loath to change unless it
shows high probability of them being able to survive in their group, or
they believe they will be able to survive in another group.
