This year, DConf has an extra day tacked on for problem solving
in the form of a hackathon. The intent is to work on issues
people find frustrating in the D ecosystem. While there will be
time given at the event for proposals, and those involving
third-party projects are welcome, it will help speed things
along for the organizers to come in with a list of big issues
to get the ball rolling.
To help in compiling the list, what are some major issues from
the ecosystem that you'd like to see fixed?
For starters:
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/104
- https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/issues/117
I don't think the following ones are feasible to deal with in
that context, but they are ones that irk me in the ecosystem:
- ABI compatibility between D compilers with the same frontend
version.
- More than one official package description language (json and
sdlang). I honestly don't care which it ends up being, but please
pick *one* (I am aware of the previous discussions on the topic,
but the current state of supporting both is just one more point
of friction for newcomers)
