It would be great to have translations of this tour to other 
languages.

Is it hard to add language selection?
I could help with Russian translation...


It shouldn't be hard, because the technical basis is there; it 
just needs to be made available to the user.


But I would suggest waiting until to start an effort to translate 
the tour into other languages until the content has gone through 
some rounds of reviewing and the number of pulls/errors in the 
content is very low.


Another more fundamental question: Is a translation really needed 
for the tour? I am not a native speaker but I still prefer 
reading technical stuff in English especially when English is the 
language of the original. It's hard for me to estimate the value 
of a translation..


Thanks & regards,

we pushed 2 new projects:

a native kafka driver to work with the vibe.d eventloop
http://code.dlang.org/packages/kafka-d
it's not full featured yet (no zookeeper) but the basic use 
cases work fine.
throughput depends on the buffer sizes but we achieved gigabit 
speeds in benchmarks.

thanks to Piotr for most of the implementation.


The news on Kafka are really great! Thanks a lot for the work! 
Did you inform the Kafka developers that there is a new language 
supported? Maybe this could be added to this Wiki page which 
lists all supported libs and languages: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients.

Re: DCD: Autocomplete without the IDE

2013-09-10 Thread André

I just tried it with the Kate and it's working like a charm! All
contributors keep up the good work :-) I really like the
client/server approach because it enables everyone to use his or
hers favourite editor.

Is there a blog or changelog which allows to follow the further
progress?

Cheers
André

* What is it?
DCD is a client and server program that work together to 
provide autocomplete suggestions and function call tips to 
almost any text editor that supports scripting or plugins.


* Who is it for?
People who would like autocomplete, but don't want to give up 
their favorite editor for an IDE.


* Where is it?
GitHub! https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD

* What does it look like?
There's a short demo video on Youtube: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo2POmn2_9U


* What editors does it work with?
Textadept, Kate/KDevelop, Vim, and Emacs. The Textadept 
integration script is the reference implementation.


* This sounds a lot like GoCode
It does, doesn't it?

* Does it work?
Yes and no. DCD is fairly new, and not all of the features 
you'd expect from a D autocompletion engine are present. I do 
feel that it's enough of an improvement over not having 
autocomplete to make this alpha announcement.


* Should I file bug reports in this announcement thread?
No. Add them here:

I have copied the source in this article into my own source files

provide any license it will effectively be licensed under the GPL
