Hey all,I've been using D for a while now and I would very much like to contribute to the development of the language. Here's the problem: I know next to nothing about compilers or anything related to language design. So, my question is, how can someone like me help? Jeremy
You could start off fixing druntime or phobos bugs. Those are usually easier to fix and "only" require konwdelge of the D language and its inner workings. If you feel familiar with druntime to a certain degeree you can pick some dmd bugs that seem easy to you and try to find them. Usually its a lot easier to hack dmd then you would expect. Compilers are just software too.
If you don't want to contribute to the language directly you could also write a library or create bindings for existing libraries and add it to code.dlang.org
Also always helpfull is, if you find a bug, create a repro case for it (take a look at dustmite) and submit that the the D bugtracker. A good bug report helps a lot.
Kind Regards Benjamin Thaut
