Why did you put Coedit as a choice among the open source projects 
people has contributed to ? Actually it got only 1 real 
contribution, something like 3 years ago. You will understand 
that I have laughed a bit when i have seen it...there was so many 
other possible choices...and the worst is: it's not written in D.

You will have to massage the data a bit. The spelling of words 
created more diverse answers than necessary. Everyone learned D 
in english but there are 7 different columns listed (English, 
ENGLISH, edglish, eglish etc.)


yeah for countries I fixed that already, I thought adding a regex 
making people capitalize the words would unify it but instead 
they write all caps...

We have over 25 responses now. I have slightly changed the 
survey, if you had entered USA or United States in the form, 
please update your answer to the dropdown value "United States of 
America (USA)" if you still have the edit link in your history

"In what language did you learn D?" => spoken language. Took me 
a minute to figure this out :)


I partway filled out this survey, but not sure if I should 
finish it. It seems geared towards people who just learned D 
recently. Much of this stuff isn't applicable to me. For 
instance you have "Quality of resources to learn D", almost all 
of that wasn't available when I learned it :)


-Steve


Well new technologies are always on the rise, for example before 
you probably wouldn't have written Android or Objective-C D 
applications, but then wanted to learn it and the survey there is 
just to give an overview over the quality & availability of D 
tutorials in these fields.


Fixed spoken language

Yeah, I almost wanted to write "D". :-D

I finished it anyway, just to skew the data set a bit in my direction.

Suggestions for clarification:

- Country+City does not mean much for US. I think it's better to put 
e.g. "California, US" as country and e.g. "Mountain View" is city.


- I have two primary languages: Fully Turkish at home and among Turkish 
people and English outside. :)


- "know about" and "used it before" are distinct groups of people. 
Unless you are looking for two numbers, remove one of those phrases.


- "In what language did you learn D?" Please make that "spoken 
language". Otherwise, "language" in a language survey can be confusing. :)


- dconf.org is missing from the repos

Re: fluent-asserts 0.8.0 released

2017-12-01 Thread Szabo Bogdan via Digitalmars-d-announce
I forgot to add a link to the library... so if you are intrested 
about this you can find it here: 
https://code.dlang.org/packages/fluent-asserts


fluent-asserts 0.8.0 released

2017-12-01 Thread Szabo Bogdan via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi,

I just made some updates to fluent-asserts library. Since the 
last release I did:


* use lazy parameters to test exceptions
```
/// instead of:
({ foo() }).should.throwAnyException;

/// you can now use rewrite it like this:
foo().should.throwAnyException;
```
the known issue is that you can not use this syntax for functions 
that return arrays or ranges... I'll try to fix this issue in a 
future release


* .beNull for delegates
* spaces between words are not replaced with special chars (for 
those who use trial)

* compare immutable and const values with mutable values
* .equal for objects
* improved code results

The library is starting to be more complex that I was expecting 
when I started the project, so any feedbak is appreciated.


Also I want to thank to linkrope, ohdatboi and DiddiZ for the 
submitted issues.
