You can help me try!

Part of the problem  with getting a new language accepted in a
company,
is to develop a critical mass of willing and capable programmers
in that
language.

I encourage everyone to apply for visa as soon as possible. US 
visa process can be frustratingly delayed depending on many 
unknown factors.

Talking about that probably extends a possible talk to 30 minutes,
covering two subjects. :o)

I could do a talk about GNU + D, which pretty much covers what I've
done over the last year, and what I intend to do over the next.  Many
things are happening - gccjitd (D bindings for JIT library with gcc
backend), gdb (D repl in debugger), binutils (GNU ld, nm, objdump
getting D demangling support), gdc...

Possibly one thing that I find difficult when it comes to considering
timing is that I have no notion of *slow down* - this is a common
trait with people in general from my region of the UK.  It may sound
strange, but Londoners are pretty dull in my ears as they can
occasionally speak too slow for me to follow (I hear each individual
word, but the connection between gets lost).  I also found the same
when talking my way around the California Bay Area, with the added
effect of an American accent that I was never sure if they speaking in
sarcasm or not.

I digress, I will have to sit down and write some things up and we'll
see where I get.

Regards,
Iain.

Re: D port of the Dynamic Window Manager (DWM)

Hi,

I've ported DWM to D as a learning exercise and thought I'd 
share it. The repository can be found here:


https://bitbucket.org/growlercab/ddwm

(Beware, I've only tested it on Arch-Linux 64 bit for about 1 
day!)


DWM is a minimalist dynamic window manager from suckless. More 
details on DWM can be found here


http://dwm.suckless.org/


The "cport" branch is where I've done as little as possible to 
port the C code to D. It really looks like C code and is 
basically the DWM code compiling with DMD.


Under the "Downloads" section is a build of ddwm-cport to try 
out if anyone is interested, or build from source as it's 
pretty easy with dub.


The master branch is where I'm learning D, trying new Phobos 
functions and D style coding. I'm then comparing how the 
D-style version performs with DDWM.cport and the original DWM 
in terms of speed and memory.


I don't expect the master branch to be stable but cport should 
work fine.



Cheers,
Stew


Would you be interested in going full fork mode and adding new 
features to D version? I am big fan of tiling window managers and 
having one that is written in D and I can easily extend sounds 
tempting :3
