Me too.

The only-thread-local-garbage-collection of Rust is quite interesting in
my opinion. Since many-cores (e.g. Xeon Phi) are coming, a
stop-the-world garbage collector might become unacceptable. If this is a
good solution will be seen (maybe). I certainly do not want D to adopt
this experimental feature. Let them do the research. ;)


The garbage collector in Mac OS X, which has been around for a while, is 
a thread-local collector. It contains a global collector as well for the 
global data.

Re: DUB 0.9.14/0.9.15 has been released

2013-06-22 Thread Sönke Ludwig
Two additional notes:

 - There is a known bug that causes multiple DUB invocations to be
   required until all indirect dependencies are installed (watch out
   for a "There are still some actions to perform:" message). The
   current git master fixes that.

 - The "-property" switch has been disabled, considering that the
   general consensus of the property discussions was to allow dropping
   parenthesis on normal functions.
