See you there!


Had a nice crowd there last night. Apparently lots of people 
were interested in this topic!

Or it's a pain in the ass to try to get more than one pull 
request merged in due to lack of overseers. It's hard enough 
trying to get one pull request merged in, but trying to split one 
pull request into 4 and then try to micro manage it so that they 
are merged in order as the changes depend on each other (eg 
spelling error for a function). That becomes a nightmare when you 
don't have merging permission for a repo, especially for 
something like DMD where it's hard enough to get even a simple 
fix through the door.

Re: BindBC -- The successor to Derelict

I plan to port the more used Derelict bindings over the course

working on that will make use of some of the BindBC packages, 
so I'll be focusing first on the ones I need for that.




Unfortunately it's unlikely I will have the time to port:
- DerelictBgfx
- DerelictENet
- DerelictCUDA

to BindBC so they are also in limited maintenance mode.

So I'm looking for someone to take ownership of those libraries!


BindBC is great news regardless for those of us without runtime 
or in -betterC! We use a derelict-util fork to this effect until 
now.
