My work on allocators takes the last turn before the straight line. I've
arranged with Dicebot to overlap the review period with finalizing
details so I can act on feedback quickly.
After that I'm ready for some major library work, and I had two things
in mind.
One would be a good pass of std.container, in particular (a) a design
review with the DbI glasses on; (b) better documentation - sadly it
seems to me so inadequate as to make containers themselves unusable; (c)
investigate use of UFCS - std.container's design predates UFCS yet is a
perfect fit for it, and most likely other cool language improvements
we've added since.
The other would be database connectivity.
I vote for databases. I also vote for an interface that is independent
of ODBC, but ODBC could be one of the drivers that implements this
interface. I know that there's a native implementation of the MySQL
protocol on code.dlang.org.
