Yeah, that's what he meant. Using MemberNames and tupleof(..).stringof give the actual field names which are procedurally generated. The user- supplied names are simply aliases to the generated fields.

Do you mean: alias Entry = Tuple!(int, "index", string, "value"); => getting ["index", "value"] ?

And quite an interesting piece of software you built there. Thanks also for sharing the slides: it's fun to see that much templated code in a presentation and it's nice to be able to pore over some of it.

Heh. Check my post. Wish I had more experience that days ;) Piotrek

I didn't see it when streaming, so thanks for sharing. It's touchy mainly because it brought some memories back. I was running my own business (soon after finishing uni) and got into the data processing world after taking some inquiry. Funny thing is it's all started when I was asked to create some *excel* stuff dealing with a gov data. I quickly moved to PHP wagon as it was mainstream that days. After I figure out I was betrayed by PHP euphoria I started to look for the perfect programming language. Then I saw D and I knew it was it. Unfortunately my business didn't pay my bills already at that time, so I had to say sorry to C++ and live with it (full time job). Now I make a living from C++ (quasi embedded), but D is my number one as the language of choice, so I plan to reopen my business again this time with D from the beginning. Time will tell :) BTW. As as GUI dependant guy I still consider debugging as Achilles heel of D (as referred in the talk to some extent, i.e. stack traces, mangling etc). My programming language path (only languages included with more than 10k LOC written as I dealt with Python, Java, Matlab, Visual Basic and other "crap") 1. Pascal (high school) 2. C++ (high school and uni) 3. PHP (late years of uni) 4. PHP (own business) 5. PHP + D (closing my business) 5. C++ (a regular job) 6. D (the future ;)) Piotrek

I worked with OLAP data for a year and it was all Java and JavaScript programming. I had been thinking about how you could improve on either with compile time features in D for massive improvements in speed. This is a market where customers care about speed, and beating your competitors can be worth millions. It's nice to see that someone has done some work in this area.
