Very nice!
I think actually you are going to have a bit of trouble with the 'text'
output, since D is going to output the character array as unicode, vs. a
normal hexdump which will output as one glyph per byte. You could do
this poorly by changing the map condition to b == 0 || b >= 0x80.
Actually you may want to substitute some extra chars, as I'm not sure
low bytes are printable (or will print what you really want them to).

I've been using D for most of my personal projects since 2011. In work, (key projects or smaller side projects) Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to introduce a new language in my position at work, but I use D regularly for small text processing tools. I need to rip apart and/or reformat text files regularly; I used to use Perl but I find D to be as good or better for this job than Perl, and faster as well. in your side project, (github, links please) Recently I've been working on a Discord bot and a small game (not on github), both using D libraries of course. just to learn something new? (I would easily argue that learning D will make you a better C++ programmer, maybe not the most efficient way, but I a sure it i very effective) I've learned about everything from programming language design to type theory to algorithm design to low-level programming just from participating in the D community over the past 6 years. There's no question that learning D has made me a better programmer and introduced me to concepts that I would not have been aware of otherwise. Did you introduce D to your work place? How? What challenges did you face? I would love to introduce D to my work place but it's not really possible. What is you D setup at work, which compiler, which IDE? Plain old Sublime Text with DCD/dscanner/dfmt. I used to heavily use Visual Studio with the visual-d plugin but I wanted something more light weight.

These machines process lots of files (binary,xml,text...). These files comes from GPS units and has been (still are) process by PHP scripts (called parsers). So we decided to rewrite those PHP scripts to something faster (PHP has been quite slow theses days, now with PHP7 and HHVM it is little better). So I was responsible for finding another language (the right one) in which we wil rewrite those scripts. OK easy task, so I selected few languages I know to select from. Java, C/C++, Go, Python.

Our requirements was: OOP (Go is out) GC (C++ is out, ok there is a way to use gc in c++, but i have never done that before) Fast startup (Java is out because of VM) Syntax similar to PHP as much as posible (python is out) Fast compilation (C++ is out again) Our best choice has been Java, but it would mean change architecture (instead of executing own process for every file, we will need to process them in one process with multiple threads or something similar), which has been no go these days. So I have been looking for some another language. And for some reason I have remembered that there has been some language, which I have try at my high school days (2004-2008). Unfortunately I did not remembred the name. So I start typing into google things I have remembred about this language. And after some time I have found it (D language). So I looked at D closer and was very satisfied. My first thoughts was something like "This is it". So I introduce D to my coworkers. At first there has been two camps. One camp has the same feeling about D as me, the other ones was OK with D as a language, but has been afraid of ecosystem. So I have started to showing them how easily I can use C ecosystem so they do not have to be worried. So after some time D has been chosen and we started to rewrite our parsers into D. First results (just data processing) has been promising (new parsers has been 10 to 100 times faster than the old(PHP) ones with smaller system requirments), but after integrating other parts (database, filesystem...) we have realized there is an almost no gain in the end. Data processing was only small part of parsers, so database and filesystem interaction has been the problem. So we start to improve this part of parsers. In the end we was 5 times faster than the old parsers, but we could just do all these changes to old parsers too. So we end up with rewriting our D parsers back to PHP, because D parsers has been to far from being complete. But it was not complete failure. Because of this we have improved our parsers and D has established in our ecosystem. After few years parsers performance became problem again (even with PHP 7). So we need to improve them again. We have already known that rewriting it to something faster would not help. So I have try another approach. The result of that approach is phpdispatcher. So instead of starting new process for every file request there is a D deamon (phpdispatcher) which put file request into queue

Not as aweful as it could have been but still quite complex and I have no idea how one would implement that efficiently. They look as efficient as templates. Both duplicate the AST tree, don't they?
