Although forum.dlang.org has had a spam check and used reCAPTCHA since it was announced, it is only somewhat effective against fully-automated bots - it is powerless against humans paid to post spamverts on forums web-wide, which is what the current spam economy seems to be gravitating towards. Enter DCaptcha, a question-answer challenge tailored for D programmers. Its goals are to challenge posters of suspicious-looking content with questions that should be easy to answer to D programmers, and impossible for non-technical people with no incentive to learn or research stuff (i.e. spammers). DCaptcha is already in use on the D wiki (wiki.dlang.org), with great success - DCaptcha's debut cut the short-lived explosion in wiki spam to zero.

This project is the D2 port of the Tango framework library. You can read about it here: https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2 We are currently a little more than half way done in terms of modules fiddled with. Currently there are 181 modules ported out of approximately 343 (give or take 20). Currently only the dmd compiler and Linux platform are supported... but obviously we want to get all the other platforms/compilers as time goes on. I'm guessing at the current rate of porting we'll be done in about half a year. Now, the project is actually two projects in one. The first project is a D2 port proper that tries to keep API semantics the same as the D1 original. I preside over this aspect, and you can see the rough porting guidelines in the repository. This is the 'd2port' branch in my repository. The second project is a more ambitious effort to rewrite some aspects of Tango without preserving semantics or anything. mtachrono presides over this aspect, so you can talk to him about the motivations behind it. This is the 'master' branch in my repository. That's all. Cheers. -SiegeLord I already mentioned this deeper down in the thread, but what are the chances of being able to use tango as an add-on for phobos2? Something from which I could pull in only the tango modules I need and use phobos for the rest?

True, but I had hoped to port Yage to phobos2 anyway. Lack of xml support in phobos is the biggest reason I haven't started doing this already. Time being another reason. If Tango was a library of add-in modules of which I could include only what I need, I would be very likely to keep using it. I think tango could become quite popular again with an approach like this. But it may need to depend on some phobos modules and conventions for good integration.

Yes, although a Tango specific runtime (compatible with druntime) will probably be an option some day too. Still, right now you can safely use (modulo my imperfect testing) Phobos and Tango modules together in a single program. Not quite. I was wondering if it can be done with ONLY bringing in what I need, as apposed to most or all of tango.

I can contribute the code that generates the D archive pages from the news postings. I hate to mention this in light of Adam's work, but Reddit is open source--why not run our own deployment of it for D? It seems that these changes would require minimal changes to the code base, except for nntp access. But I guess I don't understand the benefits of it over a web-based solution.
Re: std.xml2 candidate
Hello, It's great to see interest in replacing std.xml. I am also working on a replacement for std.xml, maybe we can collaborate on this and not duplicate effort. We should choose one of our codebase and develop from there a strong alternative. I propose my codebase for the following 2 reasons: 1.It performs better and scale better with file size. Here's a quick benchmark for dom parsing on my computer. I don't know how well it's performed compare to Tango. === XMLP === XMLP 1Mb Parsing time: 0.548 s XMLP 11Mb Parsing time: 29.570 === My Alternative* === Alt 1Mb Parsing time: 0.134 s Alt 11Mb Parsing time: 1.225 s *This is using XMl1.1 compliant parser. 2. It is more flexible All parsers are templated and you can choose the degree of conformance, if namespace are used, the type of entity decoding and support parsing document fragment. It also parse any type of range wich the element type is some sort of character. Your library is more complete tough. It support a Sax like interface, have a validating parser and try to be compatible with std.xml (which I'm not sure is needed). It also normalize attribute, which mine does not. On compliance, I think the 2 libraries are on the same level. Feel free to talk about your code and show where it is better than mine and if you think it should be better to build on your code instead of mine. Probably a mix of both library will make a better base. I think that if we collaborate on this, we will make a great library. Code can be downloaded from : https://github.com/olace/experimental check exp/xml.d

The DDT project is a direct continuation of the Mmrnmhrm project. It has been renamed to reflect a more serious and unified approach to the Eclipse IDE project development. (although ocasional odd references might still be present in less conspicuous places ^_^ ) It has been 2 years since the last significant release, and this version has a lot of rough edges: Some newer D2 syntaxes are not yet supported (http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/issues/detail?id=6), and otherwise there are likely to be several parser bugs in the IDE (... you will be baked...). But it should provide for a minimally useful IDE, at least for simpler D projects. See http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/wiki/Features for a rough idea of what to expect. See also: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/wiki/GeneralFAQ Changelog: == DDT 0.4.0 (2010-11-17) == * Renamed project to DDT * Updated IDE to latest DLTK version (2.0). * Fixed comment indentation character (was '#' instead of '//') on toggle comment actions * Fixed defaults bug in DeeRootPreferencePage and DeeEditorPreferencePage. * Added DEEBUILDER.COMPILEREXEPATH variable to builder, changed builder response file defaults. [No longer uses rebuild as the default] * Fixed parser to be able to parse expressions as the argument of typeid. * Added a parser workaround to allow parsing D source with annotations. * Fixed several parser bugs. * Removed Content Assist Templates preference page. I hope you're not discouraged by the lack of feedback. I'm hoping to switch to this project from Descent once it matures a little bit.

CDC- Compile D Code
Hello, I wrote a new build tool for D. I'm calling it CDC (for Compile D Code). It's hosted at http://dsource.org/projects/cdc . I'm open to any ideas or constructive criticism. My target here is anyone looking for a very simple build solution, not an everything and the kitchen sink project like DSSS (not that that's a bad thing). From the project description: This is a D programming language build script (and library) that can be used to compile D (version 1) source code. Unlike Bud, DSSS/Rebuild, Jake, and similar tools, CDC is contained within a single file that can easily be distributed with projects. This simplifies the build process since no other tools are required. The customBuild() function can be utilized to turn CDC into a custom build script for your project. CDC's only requirement is a D compiler. It is/will be supported on any operating system supported by the language. It works with dmd, ldc (soon), and gdc, phobos or tango. CDC can be used just like dmd, except for the following improvements. * CDC can accept paths as as well as individual source files for compilation. Each path is recursively searched for source, library, object, and ddoc files. * CDC automatically creates a modules.ddoc file for use with CandyDoc? and similar documentation utilities. * CDC defaults to use the compiler that was used to build itself. Compiler flags are passed straight through to that compiler. * The -op flag is always used, to prevent name conflicts in object and doc files. * Documentation files are all placed in the same folder with their full package names. This makes relative links between documents easier.
