You have to admit that this is ridiculous. I updated to the 64-bit Chrome on Windows when it came out and it is a huge memory hog. Web browsers have grown out of control. It's well beyond rediculous. After I log into my graphical environment with everything started, ~200MB is used. Launch a browser, and suddenly ~3800MB is used. If it wasn't for everyone hailing the inner platform effect (usually seen as a bad thing) as the best thing since sliced bread, many laptops would probably not ship with 4GB standard. But if your parents want Facebook and Instagram, you better give them a pretty beefy computer. Oh... And the CPU requirements is pretty steep too - even my Lenovo T520 (Core i7) is really slow at browsing the web! Oh.. And did I forget? You have to run a dynamic programming language that pushes most mistakes easily caught at compile-time to runtime errors. I obviously don't think The Web™ has made the right choices. The amount of Javascript hype I see makes me quite ill. An OS? Really? In Javascript? Seriously?

One such platform exists and is the embedded system, others are the linux kernel and the like, and even others are writing D compiler back-ends and, yes, druntimes (well, exactly the part that it is called phobos-runtime above). An embedded system that can support all of D but doesn't have a cruntime? I don't believe it. If it has a cruntime then providing bindings is a non-issue, and if it can't support all of D then supporting only a subset (and then being free to exclude core.stdc) is inevitable. There was a D runtime years ago created as a separate project around the time that Druntime had its beginnings (as Ares) that had no dependencies on standard C. The creator went by Maide in IRC, and she was doing some really cool stuff with it that made D work kind of like ObjectiveC. I don't think it's in development any more, but it's probably possible to track it down with enough googling. It's still available at dsource: http://www.dsource.org/projects/ares

The snippets should now be easy to use together/chain (e.g. an imp (import) snippet places the cursor on the beginning of the next line so imp can be used for another import, wrap in try/catch places the cursor to be ready to add more catch blocks, module license can be replaced by using another snippet inside it, etc. There are some rather intelligent snippets, e.g. an operator builder for opBinary/opUnary/opOpAssign that will generate the skeleton for all operators typed in by the user, automatic DDoc Params: generation from function parameters, etc. I want to eventually try to merge this back to the default repository, but I'd like some comments/criticism/ideas first.

When you have a 5.1 setup, you can turn the volume up on the central and down on sides and you will get reasonably sounding movies. However, nobody in the industry wants to spend money on converting the audio from 5.1 to 2, so it's usually left up to a player and it ends how you describe it. Also ripped movies suffer from these problems a lot. Martin I had no idea, thanks. I just thought someone had the idiotic idea it would be a nice idea to have sound effects a lot louder than voice :)

But really, introducing artificial waiting time for people ALREADY interested and using the language in the name of marketing is really annoying! I agree 100%. Educating people currently interested is as important as marketing. I actually prefer the slow release of the videos - it gives me enough time to digest each talk and discuss it before the next one grabs mine and everyone else's attention. I think releasing one video every few days leads to much more in-depth discussion on the forum as well. Agree. I find it nice to have each video gaining some time in the spotlight and the discussions that follow. Even though I'm so exited I actually want all the videos at once!

Compared to the original version (written in C++) we've measured massive wins in all of source code size, build speed, and running speed. In all likelihood we'll follow up with a blog post describing the process. Andrei Really exciting news. Endorsement from a big player is probably the first step in getting D mainstream. Great work!

I've had a look at it and as I am always looking for alternatives to generally (and sheepishly) accepted will do technologies like PHP, JS etc. I would like to test and possibly use it for my own web projects. Only, it's not 100% clear to me how vibe.d can be integrated into existing frameworks / technologies, as when you rent server space somewhere. Can vibe.d exist as a standalone framework (i.e. as a replacement for PHP) within my own rented space or does it need to be installed as a system wide service, in which case it is up to the host whether or not to make it available? I'm using dmd and vibe on a Linode server without installing them. Haven't had a single problem with it.

What are your experiences with vibe.d? You only have to download the vibe and dmd zips. As long as you can run executables you download you should be fine. I haven't installed them myself, just added some symlinks to the executables. I've only created a small vibe site, so I don't have a lot of experience with it, but it seems very fast and nice. Doesn't force you into a particular way of structuring your site.

I've been fiddling with D lately, and I decided to contribute to the language in the only way I could (for now): due to the fact that I'm only a D beginner, my skills are not sufficient to contribute to project like Phobos, so I've written a bare-bone D syntax checker for Vim's plugin Syntastic. It's pretty basic but it does its dirty job. I've tested from Command Line Vim and it works ok, conversely on MacVim there are some bugs, but I suspect it's a thing related more to Syntastic than to my plugin. Without further ado, this is the link of my Github fork of Syntastic: https://github.com/CharlesStain/syntastic I'm waiting for my modifications to be merged to the main repo, but in the meantime, for the impatient, you can clone and play with my repo :) Hope this helps! Best regards, Alfredo Di Napoli Is anyone using this on windows? I cannot get it to work. I see a window quickly open and close, but no errors are found.

What platform are you on? You should be getting stack traces. I get a stack trace with function names but no line numbers (just byte offsets). It's Linux/64bit, compiled with -g.

I actually think that since both are very commonly needed things and satisfy completely different niches, Orange and msgpack4d might both eventually have a rightful place in Phobos. Orange would be recommended when portability and serializing as many types as possible are important, and msgpack4d would be recommended when speed and space efficiency are the primary concerns. Is RIFF considered a good format? I've ran into it when porting C code, it seems it's also used by Google and probably other companies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Interchange_File_Format From reading the Wikipedia article (I knew nothing about RIFF before this discussion) it sounds like it's in a valley in between two utility peaks. XML provides maximum portability. msgpack provides maximum efficiency. RIFF doesn't really provide either all that well. Agreed. I've worked a lot with RIFF in the past, and it only specifies a high level structure by having sections with a known size. It doesn't give much over a plain binary file.
