I think we'll move forward with that one. I'll start working on the

Maybe more examples of what's interesting me right now than tutorials, but
who knows?
* executing command-lines instructions from a D program. Theme: file I/O,
OS
interaction.
An interesting example is having a script that loads a D file, modifies
its
source, asks for DMD to compile it and then runs it and get its result. It
could be the first brick to get a REPL / idmd (interactive dmd). Maybe
more
a [challenge] subject than a tutorial example?
One thing that could be used for that is the eval() function I've recently
added to my SemiTwist D Tools library:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/semitwist/browser/trunk/src/semitwist/util/process.d
Example:
-----------------------------
import semitwist.util.all;
void main()
{
auto x = eval!int(q{ return 21 * 2; }); // String can be
runtime-generated
assert(x == 42);
eval!void( q{ writeln("Hello World"); }, q{ import std.stdio; } );
}
-----------------------------
is that something like an "runtime" mixin
would be great to have something like that in the standard - then i can
stop writing my own script interpreter for my at runtime loaded DSLs :-)
(and my dream is that walter can use something like that internaly for
CTFEs)
