Vladimir's talk on Dustmite is now up on Reddit. We ship
Dustmite as part of the dmd distribution.
But it's a secret.
Just try to find out anything or any mention of Dustmite on
dlang.org.
The idea "Build It, and They Will Come" is a stupid hollywood
myth. We cannot go on with creating fantastic, revolutionary
tools and then keep them a secret.
Dustmite is just one example of this, but it's on top of my
head because I went looking for a link to it to go with the
Reddit pointer to the video. It fits in quite nicely with my
previous antics at discovering there were no links to gdc or
ldc instructions, and no mention anywhere that to get gdc on
Ubuntu, one only needs to type:
sudo apt-get install gdc
All you guys building stuff - it's all WASTED EFFORT if you
don't make it findable by users. /rant
Which is why we need a kick ass website designed to encourage
developers to stay and learn more about D and what is available.
BTW have you seen Haskell's new site: http://new-www.haskell.org/
