The capabilities of a language strongly influence its standard library,
and at best Phobos2 will espouse and promote the idioms that we strove
to make possible. After all, we wanted to introduce new features because
they'd help in writing good code, so the standard library should take
advantage of them almost by definition. That's why phobos is not being
"ported" to D2, it is being rewritten for D2.
I'm 100% for that.
To be clear. It wasn't my intention to ask for merging those libraries
(in terms of philosophy, design strategy and development). I'm really
happy as it is now (druntime for my future D2 usage). All I wanted was
simple renaming (simple from my point of view - not from developers and
maintainers) which in my opinion (not advanced programmer) could be cool.
Speaking of D2 in general, I think 2009 will be a big year. There has
been a lot of great work done on D2 in the past couple of years, but
quite little to show for it in terms of code and publications. This has
frustrated Walter and myself at times, but when we talked about it we
always reached the conclusion that we have a sound plan and that
sometimes you just have to keep on working for those mythical delayed
rewards.
I hope it will be like all you said. I'm really grateful for all you do
(also Tango Team and all developers on dsource). And when I am good
enough I will give my contribution too.
Cheers
