Hi everyone,
Recently there's been an uptick of site visits on dlang.org and also
dmd downloads (http://erdani.com/d/downloads.daily.png).
Amid increased scrutiny it's important to focus on improving
documentation. I suggest everyone in the community to consider
improving dlang.org in any way. For Phobos in particular, the lack of
documentation and examples for some really useful artifacts is
damaging. Sometimes all it takes is adding "///" to one unittest.
Thanks,
Andrei
I've lost count of how many threads I've seen in the past year which run
something like this:
A: D's C++ interop seems really weak based on this page:
http://dlang.org/cpp_interface.html
B: That page is really out-of-date; support in the latest compiler
version is much better than that.
A: Is there somewhere else I can find up-to-date information?
B: No.
Almost all the updates to the C++ interface stuff was done to get ddmd
working.
Since one guy was working on it and he is a compiler dev, I think he
just did a lot of the stuff that was needed without thinking about a
nice document on how it works.
I definitely think it's something that should be updated.
