Re: London D Programmers MeetUp

2015-02-04 Thread Kingsley via Digitalmars-d-announce

Thanks to everyone who attended it was a great evening of D fun :)

As part of the evening we did a secret santa code challenge - 
here are some of the results:


http://www.meetup.com/London-D-Programmers/messages/boards/thread/48694585

We had about 13 people from different backgrounds - many from 
C/C++ as well as Java, F# and dynamic languages such as Python. 
Many of the guys had a financial / banking background or an 
academic background - for example we had some guys working on 
market data, another guy who ran a hedge fun as well as people 
from scientific / research and university backgrounds.


We touched on IDE's and editors for D - I demo'd my intellij 
plugin. Bruno was also there (he maintains the eclipse D plugin 
DDT) and he had some interesting things to say about where he 
thought the future of IDE's is going especially in terms of code 
completion. In my intellij plugin I actually re-use the guts of 
the DDT parser/lexer and the general opinion seemed to be that 
have a single set of tools that could be re-used in multiple IDE 
projects was a good way forward. I already implemented Brian's 
DCD and DScanner tools in my plugin and Bruno was looking to go 
that way also rather than re-writing the wheel each time. Brian 
certainly has some great tools in D for this kind of thing. 
(Hackerpilot - DCD/libdparse/DScanner etc)


We also had some discussion about the popularity of D - and many 
felt that D was a great language especially coming from C/C++ but 
that the whole community was perhaps a little fragmented and 
finding information on the Dlang site was also a bit disjointed 
and that in order for a language to gain popularity it needed the 
appropriate community support and information - the recent 
language Rust was mentioned as having great documentation/support 
for new people and is arguably doing a better job at that aspect 
than D especially since its such a new language compared to D.


There was also a bit of discussion around the dub package manager 
with Russel W feeling strongly that dub was more like a java 
maven and had many issues for what he wanted to do. I think he 
has since posted something on the D forum about his dub feelings. 
We got onto dub from my intellij plugin which uses dub by default.


We got together in pairs with 1 more experienced D person and 1 
newbie / less experienced D persons and paired on the secret 
santa challenge. We only had about 45 mins for this one and then 
some discussion on how we chose to implement things.


A couple of issues came out of the challenge regarding 
familiarity with syntax and then spending time hunting down the 
docs - is there a forall in D? Also one of the guys ended up with 
an out of data d compiler and spend a lot of time trying to get 
the right version instead of the one that came with the IDE he 
downloaded.


The slides for the evening are here:
http://slides.com/kingsleyhendrickse/london-d-programmers

Our kind host Skills Matter are organising a Functional 
Programming conference in the summer and they have suggested we 
add a D talk to it that focuses on the functional aspects of D.


I'll be arranging meetups every 6 weeks or so.

Hope to see you all at the next one  :)

usually it applies to a collection e.g. List

in Scala there is one - that takes a function that returns a 
boolean. e.g.


List(1,2,3).forall(x = x  3)

which is equivalent to a foldLeft ( I think)

I'll also demo my intellij plugin for D at the first meetup 
which I've scheduled for February. Although I might be a bit 
lonely if I'm the only person there! lol.

Excellently done sir. You have succeeding in creating a London meetup
where I have singularly failed. I shall make all endeavours to be there.
A day of Go followed by an early evening of D.

There is a pub a few doors down from Skills Matter that serves good food
for a late supper. (I'll check with Oana what their last food order
time is.)
