Re: DConf 2020 Canceled

2020-03-09 Thread Joseph Rushton Wakeling via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi Mike,

I'm so sorry to hear this, but I completely understand and 
support the reasoning.  Given the circumstances I was honestly 
expecting this to happen.


As others have suggested, I hope we can organize something online 
via videoconferencing.  It will be good to "see" and chat with 
everyone even if only at a distance.


Yes, we all interact a lot online anyway, but there's a 
difference between our day to day interactions, versus having 
some dedicated presentation and Q time.  Besides, DConf isn't 
just for those of us who go, the presentation videos are part of 
our outreach.


Thanks and best wishes,

 -- Joe

Similar problem like missing dub in bin64 folder is for rdmd.
You either need to copy it from bin to bin64 folder or have
both folders in environment path variable in correct order.
I was facing this issue while building DFMT using dub. 
(dub.json calls rdmd)

(https://github.com/dlang-community/dfmt/issues/472).

Is it planned to support it in future and therefore can be also
copied to bin64 folder? I also heard several times it is 
deprecated

in favor of dmd -run.

Kind regards
André


dmd -i -run

It gets close but as far as I know rdmd is not deprecated.


The disadvantage of `dmd -i -run` is, it is compiler dependent 
while

`rdmd` is included in dmd and ldc (gdc I do not know).

Maybe we should include a 64 bit rdmd in the bin64 folder.

Kind regards
André

What are you using it for?


I plan to use it for creating plugins, which hook into the 
eventstream to do things like "give the workspace the name of its 
active window" - actually a plugin for this example exists 
already as a python script but... my kids did a nap, my wife has 
no tasks for me, corona is outside and it was a weekend :)

Very disappointing as I'd hoped to go for at least one day for 
the first time.

But very much the right thing to do under the circumstances.
