Hi Ron, Probably you know this yet but in case you don't here it goes. The gnome project maintains a 'How Do I do this...' page, it's almost gtk and C related but (thank's to the wonderful binding from Mike Wey) the 'mental mapping' from C->D + gtk->gtkd is very straightforward: https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/ Antonio.

It's one of the reasons I'm sticking with dmd for now.
This morning, after creating the file:

with contents:

I ran some more tests with dub and successfully compiled/ran some

At some point, I guess I'd better write this up and post it.

I'd still like to know if it's happening for everyone in the donation campaigns or if it's just certain people from certain locations. We've had some DConf registrations that went through okay, but I've seen no new donations in the other campaigns recently.

The problem is that when you emulate core.simd (DMD 32-bit on
Windows require that, if you want super fast OPTLINK build
times), then you have no way to have user-defined implicit
conversions.
and magic vector types from the compiler float4 / int4 / short8 /
long2 / byte16 are all implicitely convertible to each other, but
I don't think we can replicate this.
