Yeah, I always see bearophile's lists as 'maybe some of this could fit in
D at some point'. Well worth having on the list, but not to be regarded as
The Bearer of Absolute Commandments. That said, I fully understand that
Walter could get more tired of it than do I - I don't feel the pressure.
I think a lot of the problem is that quite a few of bearophile's post
contain very valuable ideas, which are immediately relevant. But their
impact gets diluted because there's such a constant stream of ideas.
Would be great if someone could do a regular "best of bearophile" post <g>.
What is valueable ideas? Bug reports goto bugzilla. Can some else be
immedeately relevant? Long messages with no patches or D language application
have no value. D2 and TDPL staple now so no new ideas? And 64-bit support and
shared libraries and ARM support becomes before D3? And GUI and IDE? So why we
need new ideas before?
Bearophile's posts "I tried to write XXX, and it's hard to do well
because ..." are excellent. Note that they tend to be more relevant for
Phobos, than for the compiler.
The links are great, too. There are some of the more obscure languages
which I'd never have heard of, if not for bearophile.
