Re: silly is released - new test runner for the D programming language
On Sunday, 12 August 2018 at 15:07:04 UTC, Anton Fediushin wrote: Silly is a brand-new test runner with simplicity in mind. It's developed to be as simple as possible and contain no useless features. Another important goal is to provide flexible tool which can be easily integrated into existing environments. I like the "add as dependency and you're done" thing (unfortunately you have to apply conditional compilation to main(). But quick question (just playing the devil's advocate). Why use this library instead of, say, unit-threaded?

Re: dlangbot for Telegram - D compiler in your pocket
On Monday, 11 June 2018 at 05:50:56 UTC, Anton Fediushin wrote: Regarding vulnerabilities, if there are any I and authors/maintainers of dlang-tour will be interested in fixing them ASAP. After all, dlangbot uses tour's code under the hood. Then I assume all trivial vulnerabilities are taken care of. I just thought you had implemented this from scratch to run on a computer of yours. Executable downloading would require me to rewrite the back-end. I am not sure if it'll worth it because it's not clear how safe that would be for a user and how usable that feature will be. I mean, if user already has x86-64 Linux machine (that's what dlangbot uses) then will it be any simpler and faster to message the bot with code, download an executable and run it than compiling it using installed compiler? Here you are assuming the user has a compiler installed on his machine. It may not be the case in some environments or for some people that are just toying around with the language.

Check it out here: https://t.me/dlangbot Features: - Two compilers to choose from: dmd (default) and ldc - Support for custom compiler arguments with `/args` command - It's possible to set program's stdin with `/stdin` - Code is automatically compiled and ran again when you edit your message Repository: https://gitlab.com/ohboi/dlangbot Any ideas on how to improve it are appreciated! As much as I love Telegram bots and D, compilation and execution offered by a bot provides no clear advantage to me (still, I kinda like it). I assume you are looking out for potential vulnerabilities? How about allowing for download of the executable?
Re: unit-threaded v0.7.45 - now with more fluency
On Tuesday, 8 May 2018 at 03:57:25 UTC, Johannes Loher wrote: Fluent assertions have one major advantage over using pascalCase assertions: There is no ambiuguity about the order of arguments. When using e.g. assertEquals, how do you know wheter is is supposed to be assertEquals(actual, expected), or assertEquals(expected, actual)? The first one is the only one that makes sense wirh UFCS, but it is not clear directly from the API. On top of that, some popular Frameworks (I‘m looking at you, JUnit...) do it exactly the other way round. With fluent assertions, you don‘t have this Problem, it is much more clear that it should be actual.should.equal(expected) and not expected.should.equal(actual), because it fits naturally in the chain of ufcs calls. Okay, I think I see your point, although it looks to me the added verbosity and code complexity is not really worth it, provided you always use UFCS. But of course, that cannot be easily enforced I guess.

I think it looks really unusual and it kind of breaks your "flow" when reading the code. Additionally, people, who don't know about the special behaviour the operators have in this case, might get really confused. I would much prefer it, if you used a more common fluent style (like 1.0.should.be.approximately(1.0001);). Anyways, thanks for working on this awesome project! I think I'm siding with Johannes here. Much as the overloads look nice, I don't really see the advantage over `shouldEqual`. Also, what's with `all.these.identifiers`? Any particular reason why you are more fond of them rather than of good ol' pascalCase?

That's a nice exercise in using Pegged. Reminds me of another Pegged-based calculator with variables, more operations, more precision and more permissive license: http://code.dlang.org/packages/pc It hasn't been updated in 4 years but still can be built by Dub automatically, that's how stable D is these days! From what I can see (documentation appears to be scarce) pc strived to be more like a Matlab-style program. ArithEval is to be used as a library to help deal with user input. But the former definitely supports many more operations, you are right. I guess it would not hurt to change the license to MIT. Would that encourage use by the community?
ArithEval v0.5.0 released
Updating this library I coded more than a year ago, so that I could use it as an optional dependency of the coming up dli library. It allows the runtime evaluation of simple math expressions like `1 + 2 * 3` or `1 ^ foo`, with foo being given values at run time. It was never announced in this forum, so it is likely most of you never heard of it. The README pretty much sums up all there is to see, but do let me know if you guys have any specific doubt. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Re: BulletD needs your help!
On Monday, 4 July 2016 at 20:03:45 UTC, BLM768 wrote: Thoughts? Concerns? Tomatoes? Hey there, I'm sad this post hasn't called anyone's attention so far. While I am defintely interested to have BulletD become a thing, I sadly can't collaborate with it so far. It's been on my mind to give Bullet as a physics engine a try for videogame development for a good year now, and I've only been using D for the last two months. Reality is I don't have any actual experience working with Bullet itself, so I don't really see how my input in the project could be valuable. Still, I believe that for D to be taken into consideration by the general programming community we defintely need to have as many libraries as possible, covering as many topics as we can. I don't know if we have any other general-purpose physics library though. I currently don't have the time to get hands down into the project, but I might start learning about Bullet pretty soon. When that happens, I will let you know to see if I'm of any use in the project. Thanks for trying to make it happen, man. You have my +1 for trying, and I really hope the community notices this project. Cheers!
