This is really awesome! I tried the examples, is there any other documentation about it currently? I tried passing strings instead of numbers to the callback, but it passes the length as a number only. I doesn't work with char pointers either, I presume that's still WIP. Still, really exciting.

Some already exists, but clear/good documentation or tutorials would be good contribution in those cases. mir project for pandas-like dataframes mir project for regression, built on mir-lapack/lubeck

Vibe.d is very cool and fast network and data management library. but, we need a web framework like spring boot, django, laravel, rails. It's so easy to use, so simple to configuration and quickly for development. My team develop the Entity(Like java's JPA & PHP's doctrine2), cache(Like ehcache), Collie(Like netty), entity-repository(Like spring-data) to development people are more familiar with the hunt-framework.

Shopping on Amazon on Prime Day (and beyond)? Support the D language!
Amazon has a nonprofit arm: https://smile.amazon.com Go there and choose The D Language Foundation as your charity of choice, then shop normally through smile.amazon.com. A fraction of your expenditure will go to the Foundation. Thanks, Andrei

I'm glad to see the D foundation looking more towards investing in these kinds of community projects, as they make up the D ecosystem that many opponents of D describe as lacking. Yeah, indeed all of my friends who tried D and were not convinced that's it's a good alternative to Go/C++/etc were pushed away by a bad support in Visual Studio Code. Even those who didn't use Visual Studio Code (most of them actually). Like being able to automatically make a foreach loop become parallel for instance. Invaluable... Keep up the good work and let's invest still more money in extending further this fantastic plugin. PS: Joking... ;)

Why github never rolled out such a bounty program for OSS and other public projects has to be one of the head-scratching moves of all time, no wonder they were about to run out of money before they sold. A good way to decide on future projects would be to let prospective donors stake money on various proposals, to see how much backing they might receive, sort of like how kickstarter and other crowdfunding sites work. +1 May I suggest the two following improvements for the next proposals : 1/ integrating a Go-like web server code inside the default library (http module, fiber and channel async IO) 2/ possibility to use automatic reference counting (with weak references and optional cycle detection) instead of garbage collection for automatic unused memory deallocation The first one to help D compete on the same grounds as Go and Crystal, and the second to make it usable in the same GC-unwanted use cases where people currently use C or C++. Probably just a silly idea, please feel free to completely ignore it... PS: Geany is also a VERY nice multi-platform IDE to develop in C++ and D on Linux, Windows and Mac, for those who still don't know it...
