The D IDE dexed - version 3.7.5 available
See [1] to consult the changes since the last announce here. Maybe it was 3.7.2, I don't remember. [1] https://github.com/Basile-z/dexed/releases

Re: GtkD Blog Now Up and Running
On Friday, 1 February 2019 at 07:43:23 UTC, Petar Kirov [ZombineDev] wrote: But no one should ever need to modify their dmd installation, in order to use gtkd. Too true. It's one of the reasons I'm sticking with dmd for now. I followed a simple set of instructions to get an environment set up, the same instructions I posted on the blog. And I'm thinking the simplest way for a blog reader to get to a compiled product is the way I've outlined. Perhaps I'm wrong about that, but it's what I'm aiming for, the least fuss, the least work, the least complexity.
OT: LLVM talk @ FOSDEM'19
Hi everybody! I am still around. :-) I am a speaker in the LLVM toolchain devroom @ FOSDEM'19. My talk is about how to easily generate IR for LLVM. Sorry - not D related this year but still useful.

kameloso IRC bot
Announcing kameloso IRC bot, 1.0.0.
It's a bot, not a parser library, though the parsing can
technically be lifted out and reused.
On GitHub: https://github.com/zorael/kameloso, also
https://kameloso.dub.pm.
There's notes to offline users, pasted URL title lookup, logs,
automatic mode sets (e.g. +o on join), s/this/that/ substitution,
user quotes, !seen, a basic Twitch streamer plugin. Some other
legacy features and trivialities like the original venerable echo
command. Ideas needed.
Absolute bare minimum required to try it:
git clone https://github.com/zorael/kameloso.git
cd kameloso
dub build
./kameloso --channels "#d,#freenode,##linuxmint"
With no other settings this will just be in client mode as a
guest user and won't pollute the channels. (#d alone is too quiet
to make a good example.) ./kameloso --writeconfig to set up
further, see --help and the readme. Windows Powershell/cmd users
may need an extra step to get terminal colours instead of \033[0m
everywhere, see the readme.
The MVPs here are definitely UDAs, slices and mixin templates.
There are some clever things in there that I'm really proud of,
and some blemishes that I've learned to live with.
dscanner --sloc weighs it in at ~11k lines, excluding most tests.
Much of it is @safe but it's not @nogc, nor -betterC. Naturally
it tries to avoid allocating low-hanging fruit but there's
Exceptions, associative and dynamic arrays, string
concatenations, closures, and all kinds of convenient D things.
Parsing looks like this (automatically generated unit test):
https://github.com/zorael/kameloso/commit/dde05a06
Plugins like this (automatically called module-level function):
@(IRCEvent.Type.CHAN)
@(PrivilegeLevel.anyone)
@(ChannelPolicy.home)
@BotCommand(PrefixPolicy.prefixed, "hello")
@BotCommand(PrefixPolicy.nickname, "poke")
@Description("Sends a hello world to the current channel.")
void onCommandHello(MyPlugin plugin, const IRCEvent event)
{
plugin.chan(event.channel, "Hello world!");
}
Because of how code.dlang.org and dub deals with versions
(announces pre-releases but serves releases), having previously
pulled this from there at any point up until now will have landed
you with an ancient version. So please don't judge this by any
previous builds.
A normal dub build takes 9 seconds with dmd on this laptop
(Linux) and eats 4036 Mb of RAM, down from 7800+ Mb. Profiling
does not seem to show any particular surprising hotspots anymore.
All compilers segfault in various situations[1][2][3].
Feedback appreciated.

(Oh My) Gentool 0.1.0
(Oh My) Gentool - Yet another C/C++ binding generator. This release has few changes and tweaks, the most important one is the ability to process templated functions/methods on Windows and reduction of missing linker symbols numbers. Please note that it is still in its early stage and may contain bugs and many missing language constructs, as well as lack of conversion for certain language constructs. It is still hard to use it directly on a real libraries due to many syntax and semantics issues, however it is already a valuable tool for making thin wrappers on C++ side to quickly bring them to your D code, given that your wrapper headers does not contains complex bodies or templates, or direct inclusions of other libraries headers.
