Re: reggae v0.5.0: new features in the D meta-build system
This link should work for everyone: http://code.dlang.org/packages/reggae (I never tried reggae. Maybe I should, it looks good.)

Re: Now official: we are livestreaming DConf 2015
Thanks so much for doing this! Really nice to follow DConf in real time!

It's intresting. Do you have any game prototype? It will be intresting to see FewDee usage. So far, I used FewDee (a very early version, in fact) in one prototype only, but it is not open source. I hope to develop some simple examples I can share during the next months. About build system - you can use dub: https://github.com/**rejectedsoftware/dubhttps://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub It's really simple. Yeah, I should probably consider using it. (Even for its package manager features.) Also, can you publish Allegro library bindings for D to the Deimos: https://github.com/D-**Programming-Deimoshttps://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos It can be useful for another projects. I should have mentioned that I am using SiegeLord's Allegro bindings, which someone else has already mentioned down the thread: https://github.com/SiegeLord/DAllegro5 LMB

Sorry, I don't want to invest the time to do this right now. I know this would be important to sell FewDee to new users, but getting users isn't my focus at the moment. Anyway (better than nothing, I guess), I have a few screenshots here: http://www.stackedboxes.org/~lmb/Balaio/Pontius_Abertura.png http://www.stackedboxes.org/~lmb/Balaio/Pontius_Jogo.png http://www.stackedboxes.org/~lmb/Balaio/Pontius_Brabo.png http://www.stackedboxes.org/~lmb/Balaio/Pontius_Vigilancia.png Some background: I made this in a rush, for my aunt, who frequently works training restaurant employees in best hygiene practices. She was working in her academic specialization, defending the usage of games to train these people. LMB
FewDee: A library for 2D game prototyping
Hello, FewDee is an incomplete, experimental, mostly 2D, library focused on games prototyping. The official Mercurial repository is here: https://bitbucket.org/lmb/fewdee And there is a Git mirror here: https://github.com/lmbarros/FewDee This is work in progress. It is usable(*), but still needs lots of improvements. (*) I used an early version of FewDee in a prototype that worked even in a public demonstration ;-) I wasn't afraid of using D any features in FewDee, so I used (and even misused) lots of associative arrays, delegates, GC'ed memory... it might be interesting to see how it will behave in more demanding applications. My plan now is to stop working directly on FewDee; instead, I intend to actually use it in a few more game prototypes. Then, I'll use this experience to further guide the library evolution. Lastly, this is my first sizable D project, so destroy with kindness ;-) Cheers, LMB
Re: D at University of Minnesota
Maybe stuff added to the language? User-defined attributes, for instance.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of the entire community that we'd be happy to help with anything you need. There is, perhaps, a need for a short technical document bringing TDPL up to date, i.e. consistent with the currently accepted view of the definition of D (wherever that resides). No doubt this is not necessary and the course will go fine without it, but it would be useful, as well as being encouraging to those students who exercise some initiative. And what about TDPL is so out of date? Its description of pure is that of strongly pure and thus is not fully correct, but from what I recall, almost everything in it that's not correct (aside from actually errors in the original text - which are covered by the errata) simply hasn't been implemented yet (e.g. multiple alias thises) and was not any more correct when TDPL was released than it is now. So, AFAIK, very little in TDPL is incorrect or actually needs to be updated, and almost all of what's incorrect is supposed to be corrected by the feature in question actually being implemented. - Jonathan M Davis
