Now, that you mentioned Python, it was one of the main reasons why I moved away
from tabs. I was used to tab-completion in the shell and Python's interactive
interpreter (and didn't want to rebind that feature to some key combination on
every system that I worked with). Whenever I copied chunks of tab-indented
source code into the interpreter, it got screwed up, because the indentations
had vanished, so eventually I switched to using spaces only and had no problems
ever since.
I can also say from experience that removing tabs from Phobos source has removed
a lot of irritation with messed up code rendering and wasted effort arguing
about it. We're not going back :-)
And I am not going to work on Phobos for exactly the same reasons. My
loss, not yours.
You must be joking. :)
If at all, the problem with Phobos' style isn't with horizontal spacing but
vertical space.
Consider the waste of space below. Too much scrolling and I lose focus. Now,
*that* is really irritating. ;)

foreach (e; r)
{

Re: Reloaded for dub

Just thought I would share this in case anyone else finds it useful. I wrote a
tiny utility that detects changes to D files and then rebuilds and re-executes
the main binary using dub.
I see two problems:
1. It doesn't sleep for a few seconds after detecting that a file has changed,
so when you upload several changed source files, recompilation may start before
all of them are updated and either fail or produce something strange.
2. It works like this:
if (changed) { kill(projectName); build() run(projectName); sleep(); }
As a result, if the compilation fails, no application will be running. Probably
a better approach would be to have the application copied to a different place
and run from there. Then the loop would look like this (I also added an extra
unittest run before the running application is replaced):
if (changed) { sleep(); build() test() kill(dest) copy(projectName, dest)
run(dest); sleep(); }
In this approach your program is almost always running. You only have to figure
out how to provide `dest`. Perhaps via command line arguments where you provide
a path (or just a directory).

I have to wonder though, why have you chosen this naming convention: jan-12, jan-18, jan-25, feb-01, ... instead of just 1, 2, ... ? That would make navigation between issues much easier, even without the page with a list of all issues (which I am unable to find). :)
