Re: A very basic blog about D
On 7/7/13 8:00 AM, John Colvin wrote: I had some free time so I decided I should start a simple blog about D, implementing some unix utilities. I've (unsurprisingly) started with echo. http://foreach-hour-life.blogspot.co.uk/ It's nothing ground-breaking, but every little helps :) Nice idea! Comments: - The imperative version writes an extra space at the end (the joiner version does not have that problem). - The echo utility has an odd way to process the cmdline: if exactly the first argument is a -n, then do not writeln at the end. - It's quite likely the joiner-based version will be slower because it writes one character at a time.

Hmm, that's actually not so good, it doesn't ensure that I/O was
successful. Anyhow, here's a possibility:
import std.stdout;
void main(string[] args)
{
const appendNewline = args.length 1 args[1] == -n;
foreach (i, arg; args[appendNewline + 1 .. $])
{
if (i) write(' ');
write(arg);
}
if (nl) writeln();
}
But then I figured echo must do escape character processing, see e.g.
http://www.raspberryginger.com/jbailey/minix/html/echo_8c-source.html.
With that the blog entry would become quite interesting.

Right structure, wrong logic? Shouldn't it be:

No, I am :o).
Yeah, I reckon it will get quite interesting as I get in to the details.
It's easy to see these basic utilities as trivial but they most
certainly aren't, if you want to get them 100% right for all the options.

My first email to Walter, ever
While doing some unrelated research I stumbled upon my very first email to Walter, dated April 26, 2004. I liked to see from today's perspective where a great collaboration and friendship have started. I thought others would also enjoy to see it, so I'm sharing it with Walter's approval and a few minor edits. On 4/26/04 6:54 PM, Andrei Alexandrescu wrote: [Walter: I'm going to be ruthless. Put your bulletproof vest on.] Hi Walter, this is Andrei, we met at SD in Santa Clara. I was bitching to myself and then together with a friend (e-meet [...]) about how hard it is to do metaprogramming in C++. He mentioned D is much better at it, and we browsed the online documentation for D's templates (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/template.html), which we noticed (apologies if I am wrong) is not much more more than a cleaned-syntax version of C++'s templates, which in turn are [...]. That sucks. So I said I'd give you the highest order bits of what I think what a better language for metaprogramming ought to be like. In spite of my ruthlessness, please accept this as a statement of hope that you'd be willing to think about this and do something about it. A metalanguage should bear the same programming style as the base language that it serves. I think that's only fair: the programmer learns one syntax and set of semantics (e.g. conditionals, iterations, objects...), and applies it as transparently as it gets to both metaprogramming and regular programming. C++ has a rich mixed-mode language for straight programming, and a half-assed (or should I say quarter-assed) functional language for metaprogramming. You carried this schism in D, while just cleaning the corners. Terrible. If you have conditionals, iteration, functions, and objects in D's straight programming support, you should have conditionals, iteration, functions, and objects in D's metalanguage. (I'm not asking for things like virtuals, exceptions, contracts, and other higher-order stuff on grounds that metaprograms are usually smaller and aren't subjected to as many scale issues as regular programs are.) Those should be combined with introspection primitives, such as: * The venerable typeof * For a class, enumerate all of its members, and figure out their attributes (protection level, static or not, type...) * For a module/namespace, enumerate all of its symbols and figure out their attributes. * For a function, figure out its return type and the type of each of its formal arguments. * Figure out if a certain function exists (that should be easy if you have the tools above). That will be useful to decide, for example, if an iterator supports random access. * And if you really want to go meta, define metacode that can take an AST node as a parameter and can visit the AST and figure out what each node is. That would allow things such as loop fusion and other advanced stuff. But for now, let's leave those aside. Does anything make sense so far? :o) Andrei

Hello, We are pleased to announce that dmd 2.063, the reference compiler of the D programming language, is now available for download for OSX, Windows, and a variety of Unixen: http://dlang.org/download.html This release brings unprecedented progress over the previous ones, owing to a explosive increase in collaboration and a concerted ongoing effort to improve process. In all, we've added 260 distinct improvements over the exactly 100 days that passed since 2.062. They address language definition issues, fix bugs in the compiler and standard library, or add new standard library artifacts. For the full story, mosey to the redesigned changelog: http://dlang.org/changelog.html which itemizes all improvements and offers rationale and examples wherever appropriate. We'll be looking forward for the gdc and ldc compilers to adapt the 2.063 reference front-end to the gcc and llvm backends, respectively. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all contributors for this release, which is a massive accomplishment and a resolute step toward fully realizing D's potential. Let's keep up the good work! Til next time, Andrei

dconf.org source now public
Hello, We figured a workflow that allows us to make the source of dconf.org public. We plan to adapt the design for next year's event, so if you have any ideas feel free to take a look. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org Thanks, Andrei

Pretty cool. Barring unforeseen circumstances, yes. Any ideas where it will be hosted, or where you'd want to host it? We are looking at a couple of companies and universities. (In all likelihood the main event will take place in the US.) By the way I should emphasize one possibly non-obvious aspect. Some obvious candidates for hosting DConf 2014 are Sociomantic, Remedy, and Facebook. The largest gains a corporate organizer may get from setting up such an event (aside from the goodwill) come from the recruiting angle: Don mentioned Sociomantic is hiring, I have no doubts Remedy would be glad to get some talent (http://remedygames.com/recruit/), and I've also mentioned to all at the conference that Facebook is hiring too. If any participant is considering changing jobs, I compel you to follow up with these companies and mention that DConf 2013 gave you the impetus. I don't have any official statement on this, but the word on the street is that one engineering hire from DConf 2013 would virtually guarantee that Facebook will offer to host next year's edition.

The user will be informed, and the new behavior (which I find useful) is possible. While that idea has significant merit, I oppose it on the following grounds: 1. It forces a very abrupt change. We've followed a policy of gradual change, giving people plenty of time to adapt their codebase. This does not. I don't understand this. It's change under 100% user control. 2. Having optional errors like that leads to unfortunate problems inside generic code that tests whether some constructs compile or not. The warning has the same problem. I'm not seeing a comparison between the warning and the opt-in, but instead weak arguments against the opt-in and no comparison with the warning. Andrei

Sure - let's take a quick poll on what would be the best release schedule. As far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer if all videos are released as soon as possible. AFAIK no other conference that publishes videos introduces an artificial delay when releasing videos and slides, just for PR reasons. With all due respect I'd dare ask how versed you are in organizing conferences, PR campaigns, or anything related. Releasing video recordings with a delay has been the policy of all recent conferences I've participated or organized. I even think is anti-PR to do such a thing (I can see how making one announcement each couple of days in reddit/etc. can help keep D in the spot but I don't see any reason why not to upload the actual stuff and link it in the conference website). There is evidence indicating we are doing the right thing. On what basis do you believe it's negative for PR? People that is actively looking for the stuff should be able to find it. People that doesn't know about the conference, should get a notification about a new video once in a while. People who are actively looking for the stuff will sure find it forever - just with a little delay at start, which I have explained why I find entirely reasonable. Still, 10 months seems crazy. As somebody mentioned before, 1 month seems much more reasonable, 2 at most. With three a week we'll be done in five more weeks. Please explain why you find that unreasonable. Andrei

After the organizers and the speakers invested very significant effort in making this event happen, the basic complaint here is that they can't get free content out fast enough. It may be a nice idea to offer advance access to Kickstarter contributors though. There are three basic issues. One obvious one is postprocessing and uploading, work that's quite time-intensive and merciless (literally so as this thread shows). Second is keeping the temporal arc going with our announcements and discussions - releasing all at once would cannibalize the conference. Third, Kickstarter contributors have put money and speakers have put hard work into this; it would be disrespectful to _them_ to dilute the value of the conference (nah, I don't care to go; after all I can always watch the free videos the day after.) We could and should adjust the release schedule to make it optimal with regards to the desiderata above. Two a week has been an initial thought. Please think it over and exercise reason.

This takes you to a page where you are required to add a title, tags, and up to two channels you want the video to belong to. You can also add a description, the language, the time and location it was made, and choose to allow comments and make your video public or private. - So maybe you need to do one of these things to make the video viewable? This is very frustrating. I've done everything needed, and I can see the video file when I'm logged in. If I log out, I see the same encoding in progress thing.

Well that didn't work, it downloaded 28 Mb and then it stopped, and there's no resume. This really sucks.. Sorry about that. Made a pass through all settings and options available, didn't see anything that could help. Andrei

It's still perfectly intelligible but a little off-putting. This sort of thing is usually caused by a stereo signal being mixed to mono. Are the original files stereo (should say somewhere in the properties)? According to VLC the original seems to be stereo. Andrei

As CSci 1902 is being taught in the summer, there will only be about 60 students instead two or three times as many during Spring or Fall semester. Without Ali's book to support the use of D taught in class, this would be difficult. TDPL will be an optional but highly recommended text as well. At some point when I post a syllabus I'll connect this thread to it. Carl. This is awesome! I'm sure I speak on behalf of the entire community that we'd be happy to help with anything you need. Some feedback on what was easy/difficult for students to grasp, common patterns of success, failure, false friends etc. would be invaluable. Andrei

Is there any ETA on the video? I am slowing learning that refreshing d programming language conference search on youtube every ten minutes is not a very efficient way to do it. xD It'll be days at least. Yes. I'll announce the videos when they're up. For now I hope to have the slides uploaded by Monday. Andrei
