Re: Terminix renamed to Tilix

I have tried it on Ubuntu. Works like a charm, thanks for the good work! (I have set it as my default terminal :))

That is using mixins to take advantage of the operator string. For example, opOpAssign can be done in one step: ref Rational opOpAssign(string op)(auto ref Rational r) if(op == "+" || op == "-" || op == "/" || op == "*") { mixin("auto tmp = this " ~ op ~ " r;"); _n = tmp.n; _d = tmp.d; return this; } This is the whole reason, BTW, that operator overloads were changed from the original D1 style versions. Some more examples of your Rational type in action would be good too. -Steve Thanks for the feedback! I will update the post tomorrow or on Saturday.

Would be nice if you could do one for setting up DCD as it isnt difficult but its also not simple. I didn't know that it's possible until someone commented about it on reddit. I will try to set it up and update the post.

Not explicitly. I don't know if the runtime allocates a new one. This works: void main() { auto foo = ["foo" : 1]; foo = null; foo["bar"] = 2; assert(foo["bar"] == 2); } I believe it does, check out this example: import std.stdio; class C { int[int] squares; } void main() { auto squares = [0 : 0, 1 : 1]; C c = new C(); c.squares = squares; writeln(c.squares is squares); // true squares = null; squares[10] = 100; writeln(c.squares is squares); // false } If the runtime used the same underlying memory, the second writeln() would print true, right? So if I am correct, a new AA is allocated.

You should never do this b/c of iterator/range invalidation. foreach (key; aa.keys) aa.remove(key); The reference states that keys: "Returns dynamic array, the elements of which are the keys in the associative array". Isn't the array newly allocated?

Technical difference, in an array layout, length comes first, then pointer. shrinked -> shrunk. string is an alias for immutable(char)[], not immutable(char[]). The parentheses placement is crucial (one can be reassigned, one cannot). Nice article! -Steve Thanks, I have corrected the mistakes. My intention was to keep the article shorter, but I had to write a lot of things so it grew up quickly. I decided not to talk about slicing static arrays to avoid confusion. Thank you all for your suggestions!
