This is exactly my evaluation of HN (and several other similar sites), and why I find these newfangled social-media thingamajigs a huge waste of my time, and not worth the bother to sign up for.

It's good for discussing socializing parts It is called soda vand, I think. Unhappily I'm about 1000 km away from Aalborg :-( I will explore further the possibility to make an online meetup after our first on-site one.

Re: LDC 1.10.0
Great to see LDC being as up to date with DMD as possible quickly. Sadly due to a Phobos bug, I need D 2.081.0 :-( Hopefully the Debian, Fedora, Homebrew, and Linuxbrew packagers get LDC 1.10.0 out quickly.

It glues together various pieces needed to build an LDC cross compiler targeting iPhoneOS. It also includes a few samples to show how to get started. The compiler and libraries are in good enough shape to pass the druntime/phobos unittests with a few minor test failures (see project README.md). This means someone could, if so inclined, build their D library and use it in an iOS App. Currently based on LDC 0.15.1 (DMD v2.066.1) and LLVM 3.5.1. There are no prebuild binaries, so you have to do it yourself. Nobody has reported yet on trying to build beside me, so there may be potholes. Enjoy, Dan Thank you very much! Although I cannot test it right now (working mainly on Linux), I will soon give it a go, because we've been asked several times whether one of our apps will be available on the iPhone/iPad one day. This is very important work and, again, I thank you for your efforts. Hi Dan Olson, This is very great work but the ldc version is too old. I try patch it into last ldc master branch get a lot error(thanks Joakim for a lot help). Can you help to check what need to be modify to made it buildable ? (It require modify some file like abi-ios* to work).
