There were a couple of talks at DConf which made some mention of
re-implementing parts of druntime so you can compile D code
without druntime. I wonder, do we have any current projects for

I wonder. If opCmp is supposed to imply partial ordering, then
that means opCmp should imply the antisymmetric property of
partial ordering. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PartialOrder.html

That would mean for us that opEquals being generated with opCmp

I think my understanding would be that 'S' isn't a struct. It's a
template for a struct.
We should promote this DDMD news. There's promise of a
self-hosting D compiler which should attract some attention, even
if it's not the best compiler in the world yet.
A rule I learned from writing Java is that if you implement
equality, you must also implement hashing, and if you implelement
hashing you must implement equality. I believe this is actually a
general truth of programming in any language, and now D has the
right kind of semantics.

The key to making D's GC acceptable lies in two factors I believe.
1. Improve the implementation enough so that you will only be
impacted by GC in extermely low memory or real time environments.
2. Defer allocation more and more by using ranges and algorithms
more, and trust that compiler optim

Something very relevant to our work on D.
I love Feynman. He is one of my favourite people in history for
his combination of brilliance with his attitude.
I don't think ARC would work in D. You'd need support for
controlling the reference count in certain situations. You'd need
type signatures for different reference types. You'd have to
remove the GC.malloc function, as it would actually be manually
memory managed with ARC, or otherwise return a

This is a really bad idea. Being able to decide how a dependency
gets pulled in for a library you depend on is a blessing,
especially when you have to lock versions down. This only works
for something like loading JavaScript files, where you can assume
only roughly 6 concurrent connections per
