Hi Ron: I suppose you know about Gtk's Broadway backend, it seems to do its job so a Gtk desktop-app can be a web-app in a very simple way: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html Antonio

It's a blog, it's a github page, it's simple examples of how to use GtkD for all that GUI stuff. My approach is to lay out a firm foundation for both imperative and object-oriented paradigms, then build from there, taking things one step at a time. This being Friday, the 4th post went up this morning. Please do let me know if you find it useful. And why did I wait until now to announce? Well, on day one, it seemed a bit silly to announce with only one post. After the second and third, well... I still didn't feel there was enough to warrant excitement. But four posts? Now that's something to speak up about, ain't it? Yup. That's what I thought, too. Hi Ron, Glad to see this gtkd-programming blog up. When I started using Gtkd I gathered several tutorials[1][2] (they are old) and more recently found this project[3] from Carlos Soriano which covers meson + flatpak. Hope they are good for you.

A. Corbi No, while I understand that you would like this to be fixed, this change might be disruptive - you never know on what weird behavior people rely. Anything potentially breaking existing code can't be part of a patch release. Also AFAICT no one has submitted a PR to fix the issue you referenced, so it's a hypothetical question (for now).

The quality of some previously has been very poor due to the limitations of the equipment available. Also some shared guidance about how to record a talk effectively.

Using D in Debian to build AppStream metadata.
Hello, Just read this post from Matthias Klumpp (http://blog.tenstral.net/2016/04/introducing-appstream-generator.html) in planet.debian.net where he talks about replacing the current appstream metadata generator written in python (dep11-generator). He talks about considering Go, Rust and D for this task, and why He finally chose D. It's very short and very enlightening, worth a reading! Hope you like it! Sorry if this has been posted before.
