I would love to host dpaste :) In fact, I've been wanting to 
create such a project myself, but Damian (nazriel) beat me to 
it.



I am really shocked on how much feedback I've got on this!
Thanks guys.

Damian, please contact me, and let's see if we can sort 
something out.



Sure, I will ping you in a minute or so

Also, is it too late to save the domain name? I'd hate for all 
existing links to dpaste to break forever...

Actually it isn't.

It is embarrassment to say but I am running low on money at the 
moment.

Everything except domain is paid as for now.

VPS with backend is running, server with website too (this is 
actually paid for next 2 years so not big deal). Just domain is a 
bit pain for me.


Maybe it isn't big money, extending it for next year costs 50PLN 
(I bought it at OVH) which is something about 12 euro/dolars.






DPaste ain't going anywhere

2013-01-14 Thread nazriel

Hello!

I would love to say that it was just 1 April joke that Dpaste is 
going down but I can't. Things got complicated. I couldn't afford 
extending domain because I began to run low on money.


Thanks to Vladimir Panteleev aka CyberShadow, who donated money 
in order to extended domain. Things need a bit of time in order 
to make everything work, of course banks being the biggest 
bottleneck as usually. For those who can't live without Dpaste 
anymore, Vladimir created temporary subdomain. Here it is:


http://dpaste.1azy.net/

The most important things seems to work well. The only problem 
for now maybe loging in with Github, Google, and Facebook 
accounts. This issue will be resolved soon.


We are also discussing with Vladimir about hosting backend of 
dpaste on his server.


Source code for dpaste will be released soon on Github.
Development process will be open source from now.
Everyone will be able to contribute to dpaste.

So once again,
Hooray and big, big thanks for Vladimir for doing all of this.
Thanks bud!

Awesome!


DPaste should become something like an standard for dlang.org

2013-01-14 Thread dennis luehring
dlang samples should be run by DPaste - maybe with an cache for not 
calling the compiler for each visit :)


also bugzilla sample should be DPasted per default

anyone got plans for this

TinyRedis 1.2.1 has been released

2013-01-14 Thread Adil
For those who dont know, TinyRedis is a redis driver for the D2. 
It is :


- a feature complete implementation of the Redis protocol
- simple and documented, with examples
- unit tested
- in active development

This release includes a bug fix that allows clients to send Lua 
scripts to Redis. I've added a little helper function to make 
EVALs straightforward, plus the usual bug fixes, doc improvements 
and more unit tests.


Github doesn't offer downloads any more, so all downloads now 
point to the zipped version of the git master. This means i dont 
know how many people are downloading my code. If you're using 
this library for work or play leave a message on the forum!

Feedback  bug fixes on github.


Re: A look at the D programming language by Ferdynand Górski

2013-01-14 Thread Rob T

On Monday, 7 January 2013 at 22:21:59 UTC, Chris wrote:
Another thing, IMO, is that there is an overemphasis on C++ vs. 
D. Usually people have to choose between systems programming 
(learn C/C++) or high level (learn Python, Ruby etc.). Most 
non-programmers who need to write a piece of software opt for 
Python and other scripting languages, because nobody wants to 
learn C/C++ only to write a small parser for data files. With D 
you no longer have to choose. You can write both quick and 
dirty script-like stuff and stuff that is close to the machine. 
Python and Ruby took off, I think, because they appealed to 
people who are not fully fledged programmers but who want or 
need to do some programming. This is the crowd the D community 
has to get on board. Don't forget that this is what has made 
JavaScript one of the most widely used languages (alas!).


A really important advantage that scripting languages provides 
that D does not currently provide, is direct runtime 
interpretation of the language. This is very important for the 
use cases of script languages such as Ruby and PHP, because often 
they are used for coding and testing on the fly, ie., used in an 
environment that requires frequent changes with almost instant 
feedback.


You can also embed a scripting language directly into other 
applications, and store code as data, which can be transmitted 
from one machine to another over the wire. We can store and 
transmit D code too, but getting it to automatically run on the 
other end is not so easy or convenient.


All of these things D, as a language, probably can do (although 
perhaps only as a subset of the full language), but the tools are 
simply not there yet.


A language such as C++ seems like a bad fit for a scripting 
language because of it's complexity and the difficultly with 
parsing through it. Also a scripted language probably should not 
have low level access that is provided by languages such as D and 
C/C++.
