My first post. :)
I come from a perl background but currently I am looking into
transitioning into a compiled language. I am a fan of open
software and know of the affinity Gnu has towards the C
language, but would like to learn something that is a bit more
like what I am used to. I have been working my way through Ali
Çehreli's tutorial and like the language.
My question is: does Phobos or another standard library have
intentions to make it easier to connect to a database (either
Postgresql, etc. or a new D database that someone may be
working on) and create daemons through D bindings, or will I
need to know more C in order to use the proper code in extern
segments? I am aware of independent projects for databases, but
several of these have came and disappeared over time and I
would like something with a more stable history. As for
daemons, I know that I can call an extern C fork command, but
is this as pure as D gets in this regard?
My projects are relatively quite new but they do meet everything
else.
I have Dvorm[0] which maps classes to database's. Supports
currently in memory and Mongo (via Vibe).
I do plan to add e.g. Mysql support via OpenDBX which is a c
library as a provider to it.
I have bindings for OpenDBX[1] which utilises Derelict's shared
library loader.
At current point in time I don't believe we will be adding
anything to standard library for this or create another (past
issues).
There is also others available on code.dlang.org if you haven't
seen already.
