LDC for iOS prebuilt binaries
I've made a set of binaries and universal libs for the LDC iOS cross-compiler. It is based on LDC 0.15.1 (2.066) and LLVM 3.5.1. https://github.com/smolt/ldc-iphone-dev/releases/tag/ios-0.15.1-150708 Only 32-bit devices currently; arm64 work starts next month when I acquire an iPhone 6. The download should have everything needed to run on an OS X build host in the same fashion as LDC downloads. But I may have missed something. Feedback appreciated. -- Dan

erln8 - erlang manager tool written in D
erln8 http://erln8.github.io/erln8/ is set of tools in one for managing erlang projects * erlang version manager * rebar (erlang build tool) manager It is encouraging to see D used for writing command line tools, which IMHO is a shining use case for D over other popular languages in that space (Go, Python). This is not my project (@metadave is the author), but thought it would be of interest to the community.

You make a comment about 24min in about implementing something like transiente from Clojure in D. I have some cursory knowledge of Clojure and what you mean by transient, but no idea how to implement the concept in D. If it's possible to provide a simple example, I would be interested.

Certainly, while concepts may have their uses, there are cases where they simply don't work, and if you try and make all metaprogramming conform to them, you're going to lose out on a lot of power and flexibility. Concepts simply don't scale well enough. - Jonathan M Davis

For a similar project I used PortAudio with the D bindings [1]. In the callback, I just copy data from the D data stream to the port audio buffers and consume the copied data from the data stream. It works perfectly without any GC calls. [1] https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/portaudio

ldc 0.15.1 minimal patch to support llvm 3.6.1
I need to be able to get ldc 0.15.1 to compile with llvm 3.6.1 for homebrew. Are there some convenient commits I can use to patch it, or is it all a bit more complicated than that? Also, what's the expected release for 0.15.2? If you expect it to be fully released very shortly, this wouldn't be worth doing and we'd just wait until then.
