Hello everyone,


It is with great joy and honor to announce that Alexandru Razvan
Caciulescu will work with the D Language Foundation starting today.
Please join me in welcoming him to the community.

Alexandru is starting his Masters studies at University Politehnica
Bucharest under the guidance of Assistant Professor Razvan Deaconescu.
For his BSc thesis, Alex has done some pretty awesome work on machine
code manipulation:

Razvan Deaconescu, together with Professor Razvan Rughinis, are leaders
of Tech Lounge, a foundation dedicated to connect young researchers and
finishing students with cool projects in the industry. (To clarify: we
provide the "cool work" part.) Together we'll look for ways in which
Alexandru can choose a MSc research topic that furthers both the state
of the art in research and the standing of the D language.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this, and how much I'm counting
to come from this starting collaboration between the two organizations.

For now Alexandru is on the on-boarding process, which itself is a
nascent definition. I've been thinking of assigning him two weeks to get
familiar with the toolchain, get comfortable with the language, and fix
a few bugs. If you know of some particular issues that could be helped
by his mad low-level skills, feel free to send them his way. He can be
found at https://github.com/Darredevil/. In the long term, let's all
help Alex find a great research project. Thanks!


Cheers,

Andrei


Hello Alexandreu!

Oh and if he hasn't already Freenode #d IRC would be a good place to 
hang out.

Welcome Andreu... err... Alexandru! :)

It's really exciting to see the expansion of the foundation!

If you just want to do runtime jade -> html right now you can use my Jade
implementation [0]. I don't think it has any users though so your mileage
may vary. Even I use Diet :)

code-d 0.12.0 - The user friendly release (code-d for noobs)

[WebFreak001 via Digitalmars-d-announce]

I've been working a lot on the new features for code-d to improve 
the user experience for new users and lower the barrier of 
creating D projects.


The new release contains:
* dub.json editor GUI [1] <- biggest one this update
* creation of D projects from templates [2]
* detection of missing tools & installation
* helping user setup paths for auto completion

The dub.json GUI is designed like the project settings from 
visual studio when you program in C#. It has a user-friendly 
interface to set all values. Only dependencies are currently a 
bit less friendly to use due to limitations of the HTML preview 
of vscode. Currently the editor as well as most other code-d 
features don't support sub-packages yet.


Also I have made a few templates [3] (10 as of now) for project 
creation which is basically like dub init from the IDE. If anyone 
has made some common library like gtk-d, dlangui or vibe.d and 
wants to include a project template in code-d, just PR or post an 
issue on the project page https://github.com/Pure-D/code-d



Getting the newest release is really easy now, as workspace-d and 
other dependencies will be installed for you. Simply get vscode 
and use the extension manager to install code-d. You should be 
guided through the rest using some notification messages at the 
top.


If you find any issues in this new release please post an issue 
on the project page. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Re: PowerNex - The Userspace update! (also first birthday)

Hey!

To celebrate the first birthday[1] of PowerNex, my D kernel, 
I've made a new release.
This is a big release compared to the old one, because this one 
contains a userspace
mode where you can load and execute ELF executable. I've also 
implemented TLS so
userspace programs don't need to spam __gshared all over the 
place.


Congratulations!! It definitely looks promising, even though I 
really do not like the coding style, but that is just a matter of 
taste I guess.
