Is this version based on DDMD or the old C++ front-end? This is a bugfix point release of 2.068, the last dmd using the old C++ front end. 2.069 will be the first release of ddmd, ie the D front end.

The sensible thing is to just wait and see, expecting nothing. Perhaps we'll all be wildly surprised. There are computer games that present free will like behaviour: Little Computer People from the 80s and Creatures from the 90s. The latter used genetics and neural networks. But first release by the last quarter of 2016 makes the announcement a bit premature.
Re: LLVM 3.7 released - LDC is ready to use it!

See the release notes here: http://llvm.org/releases/3.7.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html Downloads: http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.7.0 Also note that LDC is mentioned in the release notes as one of the projects who are already supporting LLVM 3.7. Just recompile LDC using master/merge-2.067 branch from GitHub. This is the 7th time that LDC and D are mentioned in the LLVM release notes! Regards, Kai And these champions broke the C API... In the meantime patches proposed to avoid this happening are stuck in limbos. That's fucking ridiculous.

One thing you say it's been tested with 2.067.1, but for this version it gives the following error message: containers/experimental_allocator/src/std/experimental/allocator/common.d(337): Error: module meta is in file 'std/meta.d' which cannot be read import path[0] = containers/src import path[1] = msgpack-d/src import path[2] = libdparse/src import path[3] = dsymbol/src import path[4] = containers/experimental_allocator/src I had to use 2.068.0 to compile it. btw this is also the reason why Arch package is still not updated - waiting until will build with latest LDC

OBI uses big data 2. no network 3. portable Conclusion: OBI runs on a portable device with sufficient resources to process big data in realtime (I want OBI to answer immediately) - no laptop. I am looking forward for such a device - I want it as least as fast as a XEON cpu, 32 GB+ RAM and a battery life of at least several hours. I guess your demo will be some kind of console-based ELIZA. "emacs -> M-x doctor" is quite good:)

Ability to feel emotions 6. Free will 7. Consciousness 8. Self awareness D Language was chosen for its versatility. It is a language with high level syntax and low capabilities, as well as excellent performance and being open source. Unnetworked personal mobile devices are the target platform for the standard implementation of OBI. A demonstration release is scheduled for the end of this month (September 2015). The demonstration release will comprehend English prose only, later releases will be able to process input from other languages, as well as sensory input. OBI will be a mixture of open and closed source modules. To God be the Glory. Asame Obiomah It seems to me that at least 5, 6 are counter-productive, and go against the goals stated in your website. Nevermind how difficulty it would be to implement them, it seems like you haven't thought this through carefully enough. On the other hand, I'm curious to know why you chose D to make this announcement? Can you expand on why you say 5, 6 are counter-productive? Bear in mind that even in human society, free will itself is limited in a lot of ways; by laws, customs, traditions, emotions, patterns (eg form follows function) etc. It will be the same for machines. I chose D because of its capabilities (previously stated) as well as something I did not mention in my initial post; D is an open source, community effort not controlled by any major corporation; as much as is possible, strong AI should be owned by all so that it does not become a menace (cannot be overemphasised). On the shamelessly selfish side, the choice of D offers me the opportunity to finally learn D after skirting the prospect for a number of years. :) There is also the possibility that certain plugins will be written in C# since it has a robust query language implementation (LINQ) and is now open source too.
