I know I'll be doing a few web programs in D (already have the
contracts so it is increasing in priority even now). I'll
probably be expanding my css tools for my other job too.
For non-work stuff, it all depends on how much time I have, but
the basic list is:
1) the doc thing I've been talking about endlessly
2) improve D error messages. dmd "no template matches" and
druntime "RangeError" are both sucky because they don't tell the
user important facts the computer knows.
3) write a cocoa implementation for simpledisplay
4) get minigui up to 1.0
5) finish at least one of my games
What other languages do you think you will use or toy with in
2016 and for what purpose?
I'll still be using Ruby, Python, Java, and of course, Javascript
for other work things too.
What would it take for you to use D instead, or what changes
would be needed for you to move from language X to D?
My D program for work has a major component in Java which I just
wrote last month because I wanted to use a major Java library and
it was easier to just write it right there than mess with JNI or
whatever.
If D had the same Java interface out of the box, or the same
cutting-edge library I might have use it there too, but meh, idk.
It is just a simple server that spits out XML - something Java is
very good at.
