What phobos is really lacking is a bunch of container classes, ala stl.
I've been pondering swiping/porting the container classes from stlport.
License looks like the port could be re-licensed as boost.
good idea/bad idea?
STL implementation code is horrifically unreadable. But potentially
worse is that the design is, I suspect, thoroughly entrenched in
assumptions based on the limitations of C++ templates (contributing to
that unreadablility). And they're designed around iterators rather
than ranges, which will surely make for some significant differences.
I sure wouldn't try to port STLport or any other flavor of STL to D.
I kinda think the best way to write a container lib for D would just
be to go back to square one: pseudocode in CLR and other algorithms
books. Certainly not the quickest way, though.
Anyway I thought Steve S. or Dimscha or someone said they were writing
a D2 container lib already. No?
dcollections will be D2 eventually. It already supports D1 via Tango or
Phobos. I want to make it aware of D2-like features (const, ranges, etc),
so it's not just a simple port.
