Atila Btw we have introduced a CODEOWNERS file at Phobos two weeks ago (druntime and dmd will come soon as well). This means that if someone knows/cares about a module at Phobos, it's just a trivial PR away to get involved: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/CODEOWNERS NB: For the CODEOWNERS feature one doesn't even need to be part of "Team Phobos".

The DbI is the only "code" the rest is declarative using the type system. Steven was using it to describe what columns ( name and type) a query should return from a DB and the using DbI to generate the Query. Not exactly :) I wrote a database serializer that uses introspecting members, types, and attributes of a struct to correctly populate members of the struct with data from the rows. So yes, I'm using introspection, but only for the serialization, the query is hand-written. In some cases (particularly when you are joining 2 tables that have conflicting columns), I needed to change how the serialization worked (e.g. the column names had to change). In order to do this, I created descriptors that are built from the combination of attributes and other introspected items. Then my thought was I would pass in the descriptors directly in order to control how serialization works. I found it unwieldy and difficult to write the low-level descriptors by hand. But I thought of making a dummy or strawman struct with all the attributes the way I wanted, and still serializing to the real struct. It worked really well. I also go over some other possible ideas for using this concept. Start watching from here: https://youtu.be/ZxzczSDaobw?t=18m24s Andrei suggested doing a blog article (and actually I had started writing one, but it turned into this talk instead). I'll probably still do this. -Steve

This lists all the posts in the series with a brief summary, as opposed to showing each post in its entirety (which is what happens when you click the GC category). In future, if you'd like to post a link somewhere to the GC series on the blog, please use this one: http://dlang.org/blog/the-gc-series/ As an addendum, note that there's only one post in the "Tools and Strategies" section. I'm still looking for guest posts to flesh that out. If there's a library or idiom you use that you think others may find useful, for @nogc or otherwise, please consider writing a post about it.
