Re: Scala Spark-like RDD for D?
Perhaps the question is too prescriptive. Another way is: Does D have a big data strategy? But I tried to anchor it to some currently functioning framework which is why I suggested RDD. I cannot speak on behalf of the D community. In my opinion I don't think that it is D that needs a big data strategy. It is the users of D that need that strategy. I am originally a Java developer. Java devs. create all kinds of crazy tools all the time. Lots fail, but some survive and grow big, like Spark. D devs need to do the same. Just jump into it. Have it be your hobby project in D. Then see where it takes you.
Re: Must I compile on the target architecture?
For Linux programs built on Windows... you'll prolly just want to copy it to a linux box. Thanks, both of you. I guess the easiest would be to compile it on a virtual machine with the OS I want to build for. I mean, I could run a Linux VM on my Windows box and compile my code there. Or the other way around.
Must I compile on the target architecture?
Hi, just a quick question: If I write a program in D and I use Windows for development but want it to run on Linux, do I have to copy the source code to the target Linux machine and compile it there, to make an executable for that machine? What is the standard process for cross platform compilation?
Re: Socket - handling large numbers of incoming connections
The same as in C [1]. Just change #include to import core.sys.posix.poll; [1] http://linux.die.net/man/2/poll I have a background in Java, so I am a bit handicapped :-)
Re: Socket - handling large numbers of incoming connections
Thanks, everyone, I have looked a bit at different frameworks, and it seems that libasync might have a decently narrow scope to fit what I need. I have a background in Java, so a lot of this OS-specific stuff is new to me (EPoll etc.). In Java that stuff is used under the hood for you, without you knowing anything about it. Java just chooses the best option for the given OS. This is easy to use, but of course gives you less control.

Socket - handling large numbers of incoming connections
What is the fastest / most scalable way to implement a server (using a Socket) which can handle large numbers of incoming connections? Like, at least 10K, but probably up to 1 million connections. More specifically: 1) How do I efficiently select the connections (client Socket instances) which have data which is ready to read? 2) How do I efficiently select the connection that are ready to accept data sent to them? (which are write ready - in other words) ? I read in the D Cookbook that using the SocketSet is not the fastest way to do this, as it has to iterate through all Socket instances in it, and check a flag on each Socket.

It's performance is okay for nearly no effort and the code looks clean. Details here: http://dcarp.github.io/asynchronous/asynchronous/streams/startServer.html vibe.d also offers a fiber based asyncio way of dealing with sockets. http://vibed.org/docs#tcp-server Maybe it fits your needs. Thanks - but I am primarily looking for a solution without external frameworks. Frameworks have a way of bloating over time.
Re: Socket - handling large numbers of incoming connections
My server uses "poll" for that. Okay, how does that work? How do I use "poll" in D? Link? Code example?
Scope of D packages
I'm coming from Java where "packages" are not that much more than directories. Each class can be exposed or hidden inside a package etc. In Java it is common that an API consists of many packages and subpackages. All classes are simply wrapped up in a JAR (Zip) file, and then they can be used as a library. What is common in D? Does a library have all its classes inside the same package (same directory) ? Or can you have multiple packages / subpackages inside the same library *and* same source root?
Re: Scope of D packages
To be exact it doesn't need the sources, it needs the function signatures and type definitions so the equivalent of C header files. If you don't want to share the full sources with your library you can generate those header files automatically using the -H flag in dmd. It will produce a "D interface" file with a "di" extension. But - if the library was open source, it would be better to just share the sources than a compiled file? (In Java we share/use the zipped JAR file with compiled classes).
DUB config format: SDLang or JSON?
I am just looking at DUB and I can read that there are two config formats: SDLang and JSON. Which one is the "new" format? Which one is the "future" of DUB?
Re: D programming video tutorial
I have written more than 750 tutorials about Java ... and web development and other related stuff. Not only Java.

This could be encouraging and helpful for people to start with D. It could also help in promoting D programming language. This is a question for all the community, please comment what do you think about this idea, we will know if there is an interest in such a training video, or is it just me. Hi, I have written more than 750 tutorials about Java, and made 19 videos. My experience is, that once I have the written tutorial then I also have the TOC for the corresponding video. I can usually record a screencast in about 0,5 to 2 hours, and then it takes about the same time to put the screencast parts together into a coherent video. Someone else can normally do that, though. I have been thinking about writing about D too. Maybe make a few videos. But I don't know... I don't know how big the interest is in total.
