This is incorrect (if you compile with debug info on).

Besides, it's not particularly relevant for the small code examples used there.

We could include dlang/dconf.org into the list of repositories 
parsed (Ali has made a couple of PRs there). At the moment the 
script only looks at dlang/dmd, dlang/druntime, dlang/phobos, 
dlang/dlang.org, dlang/tools and dlang/installer.

However, the `dconf.org` repository is rather big:

Cool stuff!

Would it be possible to apply a better style to that page, 
e.g., to wrap the list into multiple columns?  A long page with 
a single column of names is hard to read.

He'll appear the next time the list will be refreshed, assuming

great. yet i think that the page should note that people are listed in 
alphabetical order, not in any "importance" order.

I couldn't see any way to improve things.  You get none of the nice
features that compiler explorer offers, and supporting dmd requires
you to put a sledgehammer in the app to force it to work nicely with a
compiler that you can only observe via objdump, so saw no reason to
update it.

If you've ever had to parse datetime input from multiple

found out that that's not quite as standard as you'd wish. This 
is where datefmt helps you.


Oh yes, thank you! +1

I think you should add some way to translate days/month in other 
language.
