Yeah… http://stackoverflow.com/questions/284797/hello-world-in-less-than-20-bytes My personal best -- At my first job, a customer once made a request for a very simple DOS utility. They did mention that they didn't have much disk space on their machine, so they asked me to try to make the program small. That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Naturally, I wrote it in asm. The final executable size was 15 bytes. g The customer loved it. Vladimir: Good job! Don: Nice story. What did it do? It blanked the screen in a particular way. It was purely for aesthetic reasons. During my time at a vocation school I wrote some stuff like a tiny Windows media player with some of the ASM in the DOS/PE header area. And an animated GIF player in ASM as a .com executable with the GIF included in it. (Easy since GIF algorithms are 16-bit and they use 8-bit color palettes) Nice. That was the only time I ever made a commercial release that was entirely in asm. It only took me about ten minutes to write. It would have been far more difficult in another language.

Yeah. Plus the filename took up almost as much space as the executable code. But when they said they wanted it to be small, they actually meant less than 2 megabytes. When our sales guy saw it, he said, You got it down to 15kb? That's incredible! But I won't pollute D.announce any more. :)

P.S. Is this supposed to contain all 2.066 regression fixes pulled into master up to this point? As far as I can tell at least https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3961 from 4 days ago didn't get cherry picked yet. Or are these RCs more of a preliminary version? -- Marco

Re: Cerealed v0.2.0 - a(nother) D serialisation library
Done.
Thanks for the feature request and using Cerealed! I hope it's
useful to you.

Hello Atila,
I've seen that cerealed has made much progress, it's now at
v0.5.0
This post is for a feature request, I would like to use it with
a struct like this:
import cerealed;
struct nested_associative_array { nested_associative_array[int]
x; }
struct some_struct {
string[] x;
int[][] y;
nested_associative_array[] z;
};
void main(char[][] args) {
some_struct original, restored;
auto enc = Cerealiser();
enc ~= original;
auto dec = Decerealiser(enc.bytes);
restored = dec.value!(some_struct);
assert(original==restored);
}
The serialization process compiles fine, but the restoring part
fails to compile.
I've tried to figure out how to do it, but I am still a
beginner on D.
How difficult do you think it is?
The alternative, orange, works fine, but the struct I'm trying
to export to disk is a few hundreds of MB in size and orange
takes hours to complete and may also run out of memory. Your
implementation, instead, is really fast and efficient!

It just happens that that one wasn't approved prior to Kenji pushing in picking regressions that same day. That's the only one I can see missing. But that's why it's called an RC... Inevitably, we overlook something. This gives us time to identify and correct those oversights. Thank you for identifying it.
