Meta:
I think there's been mention a couple times of a ctfeWrite
function that can print values at compile-time, but so far
nobody's implemented it.
That's not true. This is the ER:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3952
And the patch:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/237
A significant problem with GitHub is that it's managed mostly as
as a LIFO (last in first out), it means the last added patches
get exposure, are discussed, and they often get added to the
code. But if they are not merged in few weeks, they get out of
radar and they get forgotten, and they rot for years. This is a
significant problem for D development that so far doesn't have a
solution. I don't remember Andrei or Walter every discussing
about this problem or proposing solutions...
