AFAIK, ldc translates dmd's -O option to llvm's -O3.


sajson loops are manually unrolled already. Very aggressive 
optimisation makes no sense and may unroll loops additionally 
and slowdown the program.


Any reason clang++ is only -O2, not -O{3,s,z}?

Welcome here!

- you don't have to commit .sln files, dub can generate them as needed
- that is for a package that will be reused you can use dub :)
- no need to use @property, there was a recent discussion about it. I 
think you can ignore it altogether.


Yes he can but I still prefer it for documentation purposes :)



- you can use "final" before a class declaration to have all methods 
be final


  final class C { /* all methods are final /= }


	Most common and IMHO better pattern is put final as first thing in 
class like this:

class C {
final: // all methods after this are final
}

	It has some advantages (class C is not final so you can still use 
inheritance),
	marking class final does not need to mean all methods are final (it 
makes sense to mark them and in curent implementation it is)
	you can still add easy one method which is virtual. To be fair I 
mostly use struct instead of final clases





- no need for "public import std.exception : Exception;" to use 
Exception


imho the XML parser to beat in our ecosystem is kxml, which is small 
and serviceable

  Thanks. Many programmers find fault with this problem:
 
  No problem. But if you have more elements it could be annoying 
  to count them. That's why some D users wanted that the compiler 
  does that for them.
 
  int[$] c = [1, 2, 3]; // the compiler detects the dollar and 
  count the elements for us
 
 +1, I have to go review why this was removed. It's annoying that 
 I have to manually count static arrays.

import std.stdio;

@safe @property auto static_array()
{
static struct _static_array
{
@safe
@property
T[n] s(T, size_t n)(auto ref T[n] values) { return values; }

T[0][n] opIndex(size_t n = T.length, T...)(T items)
{
typeof(return) arr;
foreach (index,item; items)
arr[index] = item;

return (values) { return values; }(arr);//s!(T[0], n)(arr);
}
}

return _static_array();
