What's the scope of phobos ..in future .. close to the metal .. or
general purpose..
I mean what can we expect in a mid term ?
No heresies, just want to know. where we stand in, let's say, about 12
month.
//- my 2 cents
Collections
//- IMO we need a full set of mutable and immutable collections.
Further we need an idea on how to implement thread safe observable
collections. ()
DataStreams
//- We need a way to stream whatever comes into our mind.
Compile- and Run- Time reflection should be en par..
Sockets and Concurrency
//- 1. We need a stable socket implementation to implement NNTP,POP,IMAP
,HTTP, DAV whatdaheck. support. In opposite to the most Phobos users I
hate the idea of having a CURL binding. Let's eat our own dog food.
Finally all the async. communication stuff is far away from what CURL
can offer...
//- 2. SSL
//- 3. :) beside what have sockets done for us lately..
XML and XSL, X parsing/translating ..
// IMO D needs suppport for server side protocols ..WSDL, SOAP, REST..
at least.. we need that shi* Hate to say it 'cause this stuff is not
very interesting (4 me)
Database
//- IMO we need fresh bindings to the most interesting databases.
and indeed a /D/ DBC standard based on Interfaces..
GUI
// IMO we need a modern, D2 made wxWidgets ..
