I started implementing one myself as a learning experience and recall I looked at the Go version a few times (https://github.com/marler8997/hacknes). Mine was in C++ though since I was also trying to re-familiarize myself with C++. Definitely curious on your thoughts on how the GO version compared to your D version.

Really cool work!

Thanks for this. I've got a chromebook and will try it out. Crouton has been less than impressive. Never heard of chromebrew before.

Very cool!

I wonder if something like this could encourage people that otherwise wouldn't fix bugs themselves to make an attempt -- maybe a month dedicated to fixing bootcamp bugs (or documentation bugs, or ...) with some sort of friendly competition attached. If people that know the compiler's internals would be "on call" to answer questions, however basic, (which is pretty normal already, making it an easy promise) it might encourage people to try it, building a measure of comfort with the codebase and potentially regular contributions in the future.

Can't you bring voting back on Bugzilla and take that into account? That requires a Bugzilla account. And I don't see it as spam. I expect posts in the forums to sometimes spark discussion.

The #dbugfix Campaign
We all have (or have had) our "favorite" issues in Bugzilla at one time or another. Some that seem to hang around like unwanted guests who never leave.
