People who don't want javascript, disable it, and it's my understanding that you can set up a page to provide alternate content if javascript is disabled, so if we want to use javascript but are worried about people like Nick freaking out about it, that's how I'd expect that we'd deal with it. - Jonathan M Davis

Digitalmars.D is for general D discussion. Digitalmars.D.Learn is for questions about how to use the language and general newbie stuff. For stuff specific to Phobos and general development discussions for D and its standard library, there's the Phobos list, and DMD.Internals and D-Runtime are for dmd and druntime respectively. In general, if you don't know where to post something, post it to Digitalmars.D. For development process stuff, I guess that you could ask on either the Phobos list or in the main newsgroup, but you'll get more visibility in the main newsgroup, and the Phobos list is pretty quiet these days. - Jonathan M Davis

Thanks for doing this. It's an interesting idea. Some people hate javascript solutions, though :-) Why not create a link to a second page that would contain that javascript so that people can decide to use it or not? Just adding a link to this on the version number for example. Getting the list that was available in previous releases would just be one more click away. I would also be possible to add a count of entries on each of those javascript-generated lists for quickly identifying if something has changed since last looking at them. -- /Pierre Rouleau

Build Script in D
I wrote a build script, mainly for my own project, the last days I rewrote it be as flexible as possible (It makes make obsolete, at least in my case): https://github.com/Dav1dde/BraLa/blob/master/build_brala.d usage: rdmd build_brala.d # you can rename it of course! -j --jobs # like -j for makefiles -c --cache # path to a cache file, default is .build_cache --no-cache # disables the build cache -o --override-cache # doesn't load the cache file, but writes the newer version How to actually use the fancy classes: https://github.com/Dav1dde/BraLa/blob/master/build_brala.d#L303 The Builder class takes 4 arguments, the cache (MD5Cache and NoCache are implemented), the linker (only dmd implemented), the D-compiler (only dmd implemented) and the C-Compiler (gcc and dmc implemented) The rest should get clear when reading main() TODO: * documentation * other compilers (only a few lines for each compiler + a few to implement Linker functionality) * provide helpers for the taskpool (maybe) * add logging options, currently every command is printed to stdout Any input welcome!

And I know that the compiler will have to be modified to match with Apple's new scheme.
