Also, I find that dub builds are excruciatingly slow compared to just invoking dmd directly, due to network access and rescanning dependencies on every invocation. I have a 4700+ line vibe.d project; Diet templates are template/CTFE-heavy and generally take the longest to build. (I dumped dub and went back to an SCons-based system with separate compilation for major subsystems -- as long as I don't recompile Diet templates, the whole thing can build within seconds; with Diet templates it takes about 30 seconds :-/.) T Well I'm using vibe.d, but not templates on this project, just a minimal rest service, and a few timers and runTasks. So yeah I don't see why it should slow down that much. Is there some tutorial or example for using SCons with dub dependencies?

Maybe regex is just the wrong solution for this problem. If I recall correctly, the current implementation of std.net.isEmail was requested by you. Regardless of whether it was requested by me or not, if the current version is not working for us, we need to explore alternatives. The regex problem is being solved: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/6129 -Steve That's fixing just the "isEmail" issue which is good I guess. But after reading this thread, I run some tests on one of my code bases, which uses about 6 regex throughout. Switching from ctRegex! to regex yielded a 50% build time reduction, and from what I read even the normal regex are slowing things down considerably. Might need a warning on the docs for ctRegex! explaining it'll screw your build times if you use it, unless there's some way to speed that up to something normal. Btw, my project which is 3517 lines of D builds in 20s disabling the ctRegex on an i7 4770k at 4.3Ghz. So I'd say once you start doing some more complex usages, D's build speed goes out the door.

All threads withing a process share the same heap, so whatever one thread allocated in that heap is not freed or reclaimed automatically when thread dies, it stays in the heap. Well the destructor of some Json objects and strings should be called when the thread exits tho. Why wouldn’t the GC take care of this?

Right now, I'm able to extend the life of my program by injecting calls to: GC.collect GCminimize Within an event that happens every 5 seconds, which I estimate will give me about a week before the program's memory is again at +1.5Gb. Yeah. Although after doing some manual tracking and isolation of the suspect routines, I found that using "std.concurrency.spawn" to run a http post request with the "requests" library was the leaking suspect. I'm triggering some 15 requests every 5 seconds in production, so it's obvious there, but querying "GC.usedSize" I was able to observe the same on my dev environment. After removing the "spawn" call, and wrapping up the post code inside a "runTask", it seems to work properly now, and so far I have a consistently small memory size in production. Not sure why "spawn" would leak like that tho. I would assume that once the thread exits, it would get destroyed and it's resources reclaimed, specially when I have calls to "GC.collect and GC.minimize".

Better would be say it seems to be working in release mode. Ahh, that explains it. Indeed. Well I won't complain for now as it seems to be allowing me to do what I meant to do. :)

The basic requirement for almost all vibe.d primitives is that
they may only be used within the same thread in which they were
created. Anything else requires message passing (e.g. using
std.concurrency) to issue the operation in the owner thread.
There incidentally is a recent thread on the vibe.d forum on
this topic:

I see, then although it works (or it may work) on release

What was your experiences? It has the tagline "this library is highly alpha and mostly untested. use at your own risk". Last time I tested it around Nov, 2016, it was very buggy. I'm using an in-house deimos wrapper for "libs3". I would be awesome to have some native library for S3, and other AWS stuff, but I'm very thrown back by having it depend on vibe.d. Nothing against it, but say you just want to make a simple upload utility specialized, having to depend on vibe.d for that really is something unacceptable. Ideally we'd wanna have a library for the whole Amazon auth stuff wrapped, and libraries for the specific services you want to use, being as standalone as possible.
GtkD custom theme on Windows
I've made a linux program with GtkD, and so far, it's been pretty awesome, however I'm thinking about porting it to Windows also, but the Adwaita theme is too fugly, and cringy, so I'd want to use a compatible theme, which is supposed to be doable. What would be the way to go to make a GtkD app use a custom GTK theme in Windows? I tried this in the past, but never succeeded following documentation found online.
