Until Nov 2, they're running a special where they're donating 5% (10 times the usual amount) you buy through AmazonSmile. smile.amazon.com/ch/47-5352856 Does this only work in the US? The charity doesn't exist at smile.amazon.co.uk.
Re: A facebook group for D programmers

It is called "Programming in D", it has already 55 members. Please join the group and invite everyone else to join it. That way we can show the world how amazing the D language is. Probably would be a good idea to link to the group. I couldn't find it with search.

Is that not correct? "Works on any OS with full shared library support by DMD (currently linux, OSX, and FreeBSD)."

This really is a great video. Which leads me to wonder why std.algorithm doesn't have a 'rotate'. Three iterator algorithms don't really work well with ranges. We have bringToFront instead, which is more general. http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_mutation.html#.bringToFront

2) With regard to reducing template instantiations:
I've been using a technique similar to the one mentioned in the
video: separating functions out of templates to reduce bloat.
My question is: does a template such as:
T foo(T)(T x)
if (isIntegral!T) { return x; }
Get instantiated multiple times for const, immutable, etc.
qualifiers on the input?
Yes, but bear in mind that those qualifiers are often stripped
with IFTI, e.g.:
int a;
const int b;
immutable int c;
foo(a);
foo(b);
foo(c);
These all call foo!int

I just tried this and I'm wrong. The qualifier isn't stripped. Gah! Three different versions! I could have sworn D did this for primitive types. This makes me sad :-(
Re: Embarrassment of riches: another talk came online today
On Tuesday, 10 June 2014 at 16:30:31 UTC, Andrei Alexandrescu wrote: Leverage - my talk at Lang.NEXT. I think this is one of your better D talks. It's refreshing to see honest admittance of the shortcomings of D's features, although I think a little too much time was spent talking about inconsequential parsing quirks with UFCS (you can write goofy looking code in any language). The GC scan function was a really nice example: short, real, and instructive. In general, I think more example code would help -- it makes everything more concrete. Good job!
