Great news, in particular I like @safe, the new compile-time 
plugin, inline nested tags, and range support.

Also having it idependent of vibe.d will be useful.

The library is now considered ready for (careful) production 
use and can be used with the latest pre-release versions of 
vibe.d (just add it as a dependency to your project and vibe.d 
will use it for rendering Diet templates automatically).


For more information about the improvements of this library 
over the original implementation that (still) comes with 
vibe.d, see the original announcement:

Does this basically convert the dt file in to a d file with a 
embedded html output statements?


e.g.,

dt file
html1
d1
html2
d2

corresponding d file:

output(html1);
d1
output(html2);
d2

output outputs the html text directly and the d code is executed. 
Of course, I guess some fixups need to happen on the html code 
for embedded variables and such.


Just wondering about how it is done conceptually.

clang and recent ldc beta. C compiler does not matter because 
OpenBLAS Haswell kernels was written in assembler. Mir support

Nice work.  The blog post is a bit short though: it might benefit 
from some usage samples showing how the equivalent D code is much 
nicer to write and read.  The benchmark source shows that the C 
API calls are much longer than D, highlight that in the post.


People don't just want speed and portability, they want ease of 
use.  Show them that D will be easier.

The Origins of Learning D

2016-09-23 Thread Mike Parker via Digitalmars-d-announce 
I thought I'd go with a bit of light reading on the blog this 
week, as there are a few heavy-duty posts in the pipeline. The 
origin stories of two of the published (modern) D books have 
already been posted to the D blog ([1] and [2]). This week I've 
contributed a post on my own 'Learning D'.

Diet-NG 1.0.0 released

The Diet template language is aimed at providing a way to define

Re: Ocean v2.1.1 released

On Friday, 23 September 2016 at 03:04:29 UTC, Chris Wright wrote:

What does Ocean do?


From github repo:

Ocean is a general purpose library, compatible with both D1 and 
D2, with a focus on supporting the development of 
high-performance, real-time applications. This focus has led to 
several noteworthy design choices:


Ocean is not cross-platform. The only supported platform is Linux.
Ocean assumes a single-threaded environment. Fiber-based 
multi-tasking is favoured, internally.
Ocean aims to minimise use of the D garbage collector. GC collect 
cycles can be very disruptive to real-time applications, so Ocean 
favours a model of allocating resources once then reusing them, 
wherever possible.
Ocean began life as an extension of Tango, some elements of which 
were eventually merged into Ocean.
