Hello everyone,
I just started learning D yesterday evening and at this point I started
playing around with vibe-d and the database connector libraries..
I just have one thing to say about D and that is ...WOW!!
By profession I'm a Java, .Mono and Python developer working on Linux
and I've been a Java/Linux fan-boy for all my life, but I kind of went
through almost every programming and scripting language I could get my
hands on (Rust, GoLang, Perl... even those Javascript off-springs like
TypeScript) but none of them ever topped Java.. until I bumped onto D..
Even though Java is still my favorite,
I must say that D is definitely the most enjoyable programming language
I've ever used!!
Awesome!
Do you have any suggestions for e.g. the docs?
Feedback is welcome :)
At this point I'm still a noob so still haven't gone through all the
docs yet.
Up until now I find the Docs site extremely helpful and well designed,
and I also like the fact that when I installed D through the package
manager, everything was neatly taken care along with a desktop version
of the docs site.
I have one general question, since I see the DWT library mentioned as
part of the main ecosystem.
Is DWT considered as the official UI framework?
It was going to be (port of SWT), but it never ended up as such although
it is maintained still.
With Java I use SWT for desktop and RWT (part of Eclipse RAP) for web UI
development as my main framework, and if DWT is to be the official UI
for D, then that would be great news for me.
I did not find DWT though in the DUB repository, so at this point I've
checked it out from Git.
Having a few issues when compiling for 64bit, but that I guess is
something that I'll take care of along the way.. :)
