Saw a library recently which allowed you to color text, but it
had an odd syntax.
Maybe the documentation, in trying to be exhaustive, hasn't
showed how simple it can be. I'm not sure why it is perceived as
odd. Can you clarify?
Since I already had some code for coloring text in terminals, I
made this (hackish, POSIX only) project during lunch break. It
in action:
import std.stdio : writeln;
import termcolor;
import textattr;
// Color → Green → Foreground
writeln(C.green.fg, "Green text", resetColor);
writeln(ta("green"), "Green text", ta("off"));
*or* the shorter:
writeln(ta("g"), "Green text", ta("f"));
*or* the even shorter:
tawrite("@g", "Green text", "@f", '\n');
The @ indicates that it is an "at"tribute.
It's not an issue to add a tawriteln which adds the newline at
the end. I first posted the basic library thinking to make
additions as per demands later.
// Color → Red → Background
writeln(C.red.bg, "Red background", resetColor);
tawrite("@/red", "Red background", "@off", '\n');
The / indicates that it's a background colour. This is stated in
the HTML documentation, but maybe not clear within the
limitations of the README.md. I'll see what I can do to improve
it.
Having premade symbols in the library as you have done is easy
enough for basic 16-colour or even attribute support, but adding
256 colour or true colour support this way would unnecessarily
use up too much memory.

You have to carefully read the article to see otherwise, and few will do that. Well comparative to itself sometimes it is. When you initially write D code you get used to the blazing fast speeds, but when eventually the compilation speed slows down as a project grows then this has a real effect on productivity. Maybe a better title would have been "D compilation sometimes slows down too much", but it wouldn't get as many hits. On the upside, people who read the article - or even just read the comments section, will quickly realize that D's compilation speed is still miles faster than the competition. They might actually try the language. :)
