That's a nice exercise in using Pegged. Reminds me of another Pegged-based calculator with variables, more operations, more precision and more permissive license: http://code.dlang.org/packages/pc It hasn't been updated in 4 years but still can be built by Dub automatically, that's how stable D is these days!

Yes, that is my guess also, but there are chances that I will be in these extreme situations myself, not for my pet projects, but for some embedded stuff I want to do. That is why I want something without runtime for microcontrollers at some point. Just to have the possibility open. For now I think I will stick to C++ for that (a subset) until I am confident D can do perfectly ok there. I know D is designed for that also (modulo GC and runtime) but I still need to see the practical, day to day problems if I use D for such a thing instead of C++, which I know quite well.

It was never announced in this forum, so it is likely most of you never heard of it. The README pretty much sums up all there is to see, but do let me know if you guys have any specific doubt. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Very cool !

Martin, I would appreciate and I think many people would, a blog/tutorial on how to do this. Indeed, that already crossed my mind a couple of times ;). I am searching for a blog like that. Is it been written yet?

Every time I click the publish button I stay glued to reddit and the stats page to see how it's being received, with a glance now and again at the forum announcement to see what sort of mistakes I missed, often well past my bedtime (I love living in Korea, but the time zone can be rather inconvenient!). Here, I list the new blog features I enjoyed working on in 2017 and, my favorite part, some stats. I wrap up with a bit about what to expect in 2018.
