Re: dlang website: remove that quick try editor
Honestly, if you look at other programming languages with some online editor, it's about the same speed. It would help though (don't know if it's already there) to include timestamps, so people see that the actuall time-waster is not in compilation/execution. 2014-06-09 23:21 GMT+02:00 Dejan Lekic via Digitalmars-d digitalmars-d@puremagic.com: John wrote: dlang.org website has a quick try editor with D code example.

We also must serve stuff from dlang.org, not an external site, so we can control its speed improvement. nazriel? -- Andrei

It does currently seem rather slow.

Please contact the DPaste people and help to find out why. http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/home

I wrote to them through the message option on their contact page: Hi guys, I understand you are responsible for the D quick try example editor on the dlang.org It is running very slow.. please either speed it up or remove that feature from dlang website. It is turning off new visitors from exploring D any further, leaving an impression that D language itself is very slow!! I have been randomly watching it for the past one year and I can say it is always been slow to very slow. No good if you compare it to the similar feature available on the golang website that runs pretty quick. Thanks, John
