Well, from the README I'd say the goal is a complete x86-64 OS The goal is to have a whole OS written in D, where PowerNex powers the core. This project looks great and it's not easy writing a x86-64 bootloader even with GRUB and a reference to work from, Nice work! bye, lobo

One or three years ago (or if D were as it was one or three years ago), would you not have downloaded the compiler the same number of times? package manager presence has improved, so I would expect dlang.org downloads to represent a smaller fraction of total downloads than it used to.

Oh the other hand, you have people like me who often skip new downloads but use D all the time anyway, and people who get them through third party package managers, etc. My gut feeling is that it probably basically balances out, so more downloads probably means more users, though we couldn't actually tell how many users by just looking at this.

Sadly I am not really sure what that comment was suggesting. Given there was a claim of 3x speed up there must have been code. If that code could be put forward then experiments could be run. Possibly something for GSoC in that alone. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'm not an expertise android developer so I don't know how to get stacktraces from logcat, all I oculd get was the verbose of the test program (using "adb logcat test_runner:V *:S"). Thanks, there shouldn't be any stacktraces unless the app crashes. When it hangs, as it does in those two modules, some C function from bionic usually just doesn't return and you have to close the app eventually. I wasn't expecting any crashes from this apk, only mentioned it because you never know what might happen on new hardware. ;)
