The BCGen does not have to declare functions. Since every-time it is created it will implicitly define a function. It will all make more sense once the function-call system works.

Re: ArrayFire, a GPU library, is now open source

This should help the situation for numerical programming with D. But basically it is still C and not D?
Re: std.experimental.ndslice.algorithm is ready for review
The PR and Mir v0.16.0-alpha7 have half and triangular selections. They are very helpful to work with matrixes.

Last week, we had a status report from Stefan Koch on his CTFE engine. If you aren't already following this, every Sunday night or Monday morning, the little newsletter comes out with a snapshot of forum activity and about half of them have some kind of longer article or tip or other such educational content. The RSS feed (linked on the page) is also a single-page archive so you can search for old things there too! Thank you Adam, this is pure gold stuff to know! /Paolo
D on exercism.io
The D language track is alive on exercism.io - http://exercism.io/languages/dlang. It would be great if it gets some feedback from the D community. The site encourages code review on the submitted code. It would be nice to have some implementations of the current problem set from more seasoned D programmers. The current exercises and their default solutions try to cover as much ground as possible from the language for a beginner to get the feeling of it. If anyone has ideas for new exercises please contribute or if the time is an issue send me a message with a clear problem statement and a set of unit tests. I would like to say that for me the sit worked quite well and it helped me get started with the language. Thanks
