Hello,
I'm new to this mailing list. I'm trying to learn D to eventually use
it in production code.
I'm a little bit intimidated by the fact that the topics in the d-learn
list look rather advanced to a newbie like me.
I have 3 fairly simple questions:
1) Does D support something like the javascript 1.8 destructuring
assigment (multiple assigment in python):
[a, b] = [b, a];
2) D doesn't seem to support the list comprehension syntax available in
python and javascript. Is this correct?
[f(x) for x in list if condition]
3) D's slice operator apparently doesn't allow the use of a stride other
than unity as is allowed with fortran and matlab. Is there a way to
implement this feature so that
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5][0..$:2] would refer to [1, 3, 5], etc..., where 2 is the
non unit stride. Or is the find function from std.algorithm the only
option to achieve the same behavior.
I find the 3 features above extremely convenient in every day coding.
Thanks,
-clk
