Re: `in` parameters optimization

I would normally use `in ref` but sometimes it's not compatible with different types. No. "in" is short for "const scope" (https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#param-storage). The only mechanism D has for expressing "pass this argument by ref if possible, and by value otherwise" is "auto ref" (https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#auto-ref-functions), which requires your function to be templated.

For a while, typing in VS Code was clunky compared to Sublime. I gave it a spin every couple of months to see how it was shaping up and eventually I stopped noticing the difference.

I can't seems to find anything about Tilde character
concatenation easily, nor the alternatives to it. Can someone
share some knowledge on this or at least point out useful
links/resources?
Huh?
For clarity I'm going to respond to some potential rewrites of
your question.
I don't think "foo" ~ "bar" is very readable. Can I use a
different syntax?
No. That's the syntax. Even if you customize it in your own
code, by overloading addition or the like, you'll still come
across it in other people's code. So I can only recommend that
you find some way to make it readable for you. Maybe use a
different or larger font? Maybe just get more familiar with it?
I don't think the syntax is likely to change.
Where can I find documentation for the ~ operator?
It's under 'expressions' in the spec:
https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#cat_expressions
Is ~ the best way to join strings together? Can I use
something else?
You can use it to join arrays in general, including strings.
Depending on your use case you might prefer joiner()
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_iteration.html#.joiner
in usage like
assert(["many", "strings"].joiner("").array == "manystrings");
Or Appender, for many mutating appends to the same array:

I was using PSPad up until a few months ago when I realized Notepad++ (finally) has a 64-bit version of the Explorer plugin. With custom GtkD syntax highlighting for both, it was Notepad++'s ability to show me my working system directory in a sidebar on start-up that got me to switch. PSPad will show it, but only after I manually switch from project view.
