Re: D on devdocs

[Adil Baig via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Bravo.

I don't know how many people actually use the service, but lots of
web/backend devs use devdocs. This puts D on their map and, hopefully, we
get attention from a much larger audience.

Just wanted to say this is a truly awesome project!

Also, it's the highest starred D project I've seen, but somehow isn't on

 Ddb is a relational database client for D [1]. Currently it only

 support other backends.

 Built-in postgres client is a native implementation, that is it does
 not depend on libpq. Instead it communicates directly with the server
 avoiding text serialization and parsing overhead (PostgreSQL protocol
 is stable and well documented).

 I don't use it and I don't work on it anymore. Simply because I'm busy
 with other things and that things don't involve any RDBMS support.

 It has some user base, few contributors and 22 forks on github.
 Unfortunately, I could not handle pull requests and issues in a
 reasonable time and that's why I'm posting this here. I hope someone
 could take over this project and improve it.

 If you are interested, please either respond here or email me.

Re: https everywhere update - dlang.org gets an "A" now!

[Adil Baig via Digitalmars-d-announce]

+1 Same error. This part may help :

This server could not prove that it is *www.dlang.org
*; its security certificate is from*dlang.org
*

You will need a wild-card certificate (cheaper) or a certificate that
allows multiple domain names (more expensive, and probably not required)
for the cert to work.

None! Sorry to be the negative punt. The current one (on dlang.org) is
better. Maybe a play on a flattened version of that would suffice.

Re: Travis-CI support for D

 Glad to announce that D support on Travis-CI was launched today.

 http://blog.travis-ci.com/2014-12-10-community-driven-
 language-support-comes-to-travis-ci/

 You can now get out-of-the-box continuous integration for your D projects
 on github. If you are already using dub, using Travis-CI is as simple as
 adding a 2 line .travis.yml file to your repo and toggling a switch on
 travis-ci.org.

 language:d
 sudo: false

 You can also chose a specific compiler by adding a d: tag.

 d: ldc-0.14.0

 Build matrices are supported as well, so you can test your project against
 multiple compilers. Please only test as many compilers as you actually need!

 d:
   - dmd-2.066.1
   - gdc-4.9.0
   - ldc-0.14.0

 The following compilers were successfully tested.

 dmd-2.064
 dmd-2.065.0
 dmd-2.066.1
 gdc-4.8.2
 gdc-4.9.0
 ldc-0.13.0
 ldc-0.14.0

 Read the docs for more details http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/d/
 .

 And you can also have a look at these 2 libraries.

Re: FoundationDB D Bindings

[Adil Baig via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Good stuff! But why the derelict namespace? Looks like your bindings are to
the C FoundationDB drivers. In which case i suggest splitting that up and
submitting it to the Deimos project (https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos
).

The higher level stuff, like class DerelictFDBLoader, can be a layer on
top of these bindings.

 Yeah I was one of those people who wanted to work on it. Unfortunately
 that
 was while I was working on DOOGLE and pre aurora commencing. That to me
 really killed my enthusiasm.

 Personally I'm waiting for aurora before starting up on the GUI front.



 What's doogle and aurora? And why did that kill enthusiasm?


 DOOGLE[0] was my attempt at a gui toolkit. And aurora is this[1].
 I would have replied earlier but it appears that there has been enough
 changes with dub and dmd that it just won't. But I managed to grab an old
 build and here is its output [2].
 Not really that nice but hey, was my go at it.

 I was building it as pretty much the all in one toolbox for D and OpenGL
 and
 with Aurora getting more support, the issues I was having continuing just
 kinda was the last straw.
 And anyways I'm better at web development then game dev. Never really
 understood the 3d pipeline.


 Those aurora repos appear to be empty :/
 Is aurora intended to be a GUI toolkit?

 Only DirectX has code so far from what I've heard and seen.

  I still think there's huge need for a realtime gfx environment GUI
 toolkit.

 I'm completely on board with that, but I really don't have the skills for
 it. But hey we also need a web service framework aimed at enterprise in D
 and that's my target work now days.


Interesting. What are you working on? Is it on github?


  But if I were you, I wouldn't be marrying it to any particular gfx
 API. Just make sure to structure the API to allow backends (like
 OpenGL) to be plugged in.

 It was designed to be completely independent of any 3d api. In theory you
 could have a different implementation of controls to a window.
 But I never bothered going there considering.
 In fact I had plans to make it like GWT does as another backend and
 hooking it up to Vibe.
