GMP bindings for DLang
I've been writing D bindings for GMP the multi-precision numeric library. I know Dlang has bignum, but GMP is still the fastest library for extremely large numbers. I've thus far written header interface for all of gmp.h minus the mpn_t functions (low level natural numbers). And I'm in the process of implementing operations on a D struct that allow manipulating mpn types as operations on operators. If anybody has any idea about the process of getting such a library accepted into the Demios repo, that would be greatly appreciated. https://code.dlang.org/packages/libgmp

It is a skill that allows me to voice control my TV receiver with commands like: Alexa, ask Telly to go to standby Alexa, ask Telly what is currently running The project and all the source code sits on github: https://github.com/Extrawurst/alexa-openwebif I created two new dub libraries that this app uses: https://github.com/Extrawurst/openwebif-client-d https://github.com/Extrawurst/alexa-skill-kit-d *openwebif-client-d* is the REST api that my receiver speaks. *alexa-skill-kit-d* is the base class and the types that amazon throws at when the user activated your skill. you can find the blog post here: http://blog.extrawurst.org/programming/dlang/alexa/2017/01/06/alexa-in-d.html Feel free to share, to spread the word about using D for this fancy new tech. ~Stephan Thank you for doing this - really happy about it. A perfect open source moment - I was wondering about how to go about getting Alexa working. But I had shared the AWS Lambda stuff which proved useful for you, and now you solved the problem for me and helped others on top. Laeeth. Hi Laeeth, thanks again for your post about aws lambda + D - wouldn't have thought about this whole thing otherwise. I wanted to ask you if you thought about using another platform but nodejs wrap the D exe in lambda. They support java and C# aswell. I was wondering if it is a performance difference to use them instead ?! Looking forward to your input. Cheers, Stephan

The synchronization between Phobos and Mir turned out to be a lot of work with litte gain => That's a good move. Will make development faster indeed by not being tied to dmd releases. The downside of `batteries included` is is hampers development speed, deprecation speed, etc. Another example: std.json sucks compared to http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/ Which has a much more powerful successor http://code.dlang.org/packages/std_data_json. IMO, packages are great in std, once they're done and won't change much.
