I recently reread Walter's 2012 article, as it's _the_ piece I
recommend to others who want to know about D from a technical
perspective:
http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/component-programming-in-d/240008321
Given the great success of H.S Teoh's subsequent article with a
long example of implementing a calendar,
http://wiki.dlang.org/Component_programming_with_ranges
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1jtzez/component_programming_with_ranges/
to the point where there was even a CppCon talk stepping through
Teoh's calendar example using Boost Ranges and the equivalent C++
syntax,
https://youtube.com/watch?v=mFUXNMfaciE
it would be great to have a follow-up article that expanded on
the original article, talked about practical experience over the
subsequent years, and emphasized the context and differences from
other languages of this concept, some of which Andrei mentioned
in the reddit comments at that time:
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/10u6sk/component_programming_in_d/
I think a follow-up article, perhaps published as a post on the
dlang blog, would get more attention nowadays and maybe get more
people to read the original article, similar to how Voldemort
types got much more attention on reddit recently:
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/telhj/voldemort_types_in_d/
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/523hm3/til_the_d_language_has_a_voldemort_type/
I would like to read such an article, and I think it would get
more attention on the language, ie provide some marketing.
