Your feedback is of course welcome.

A couple of modules are still blacklisted, but it's WIP to remove 
the blacklist [1].

Also as mentioned DPaste [2] is used as Backend.

If you want to hack with it directly, you may have a look at [3].

Cheers,

I understand this is especially nice for the people who are physically 
there. But, is there any way to collaborate for those that are 
physically challenged (as in, not in the vicinity). A video stream, or 
an official open communication channel. I would love to follow the 
development.

Hi,

I am planning on asking to become TU for the dlang packages in
community. I've been building and working with the current packages
and making my own packages to make sure I know what I'm getting in to.
LDC and GDC are matched with the system versions of llvm and gcc. If I
can get TU approval I will put time in to these packages and hopefully
make some Arch tools that use dlang to try and promote it more.
To learn makepkg and nampac etc I built this [0], it is a set of
PKGBUILD files that are loosely based on the way I use multiple
official dmd compilers on my dev box. Some of my customers use older
version of Vibe that do not build on current dmd. I actually normally
use /usr/local/ and not /usr/lib for my dmd installation. It also has
a little utility for switching between compilers versions, similar to
archlinux-java.

1. Why your company uses  D?

  a. D is the best
  b. We like D
  c. I like D and my company allowed me to use D
  d. My head like D
  e. Because marketing reasons
  f. Because my company can be more efficient with D for some 
tasks then with any other system language


No, my company does not use D.



2. Does your company uses C/C++, Java, Scala, Go, Rust?


C#, C++, Java - ordered by %usage



3. If yes, what the reasons to do not use D instead?


- no decimal data type;
- no i18n;
- no GUI;
- IDE support;
- lack of "batteries included" experience;


We are following D for long time. The initial idea was "Look, 
ma', there is something like C# that compiles to native". Once 
Tango (which looks a lot like C# standard library) was dropped 
and was replaced by phobos, my team lost the interest, I'm the 
only one right now using D for pet projects.




2. Have you use one of the following Mir projects in production:

  a. https://github.com/libmir/mir
  b. https://github.com/libmir/mir-algorithm
  c. https://github.com/libmir/mir-cpuid
  d. https://github.com/libmir/mir-random
  e. https://github.com/libmir/dcv - D Computer Vision Library
  f. std.experimental.ndslice



Most of the apps we develop are in the financial domain. Didn't 
find any use.


3. If Yes, can Mir community use your company's logo in a 
section "Used by" or similar.


4. Have you use one of the following Tamedia projects in your 
production:


  a. https://github.com/tamediadigital/asdf
  b. https://github.com/tamediadigital/je
  c. https://github.com/tamediadigital/lincount

5. What D misses to be commercially successful languages?


- IDE;
- IDE;
- IDE;



6. Why many topnotch system projects use C programming language 
nowadays?




I truly don't know.


Thanks,
Ilya

If there isn't going to be a 2.073.2 release, then this should be

Hi, wondering what the outcome of this was.

Also, how big is the maintenance burden? Is there more to it than 
a version number bump & push on each release? Perhaps it could be 
automated or integrated into the release process.

FYI, this has been postponed, we are supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow

I have rescheduled for next Friday, 2/17, which is the only day I could
book.


Hi all, I am switching from using Meetup to Eventbrite, which is free 
and accomplishes pretty much the same thing as meetup.


I will still post everything to the meetup group for the next few months 
(my subscription runs out in May), but will look to track pretty much 
everything on EventBrite.

But before I buy it, I have a question. Are updates included

I don't really want to rebuy a game every now and then.


Hi, thanks for the trust.

Updates are included, I would hate to charge multiple times for 
the same thing.


_But_ except for bugs I haven't planned to do any update at 
all, so don't except much more.


As it stands I think of it as "done".
