The D side of this ORM can be found at: https://code.dlang.org/packages/dorm It provides a nice D API to directly save data to any database, restore data, list data, etc. Current features: - Declarative table/model definitions from D, with rich UDA annotations - Command Line Interface to create migrations automatically from the D application, good for checking into the source repository and to distribute with the app - Migrations allow both users and developers to update the database in their deployed app instances when needed, coming from any (or no) previous version - High-level APIs both in D and Rust - Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and sqlite3 (MySQL and PostgreSQL drivers written in safe Rust) - Automatic mapping between defined D datatypes and SQL - Support for slim SQL queries by only using and selecting columns that are needed - CRUD interface with support for dereferencing foreign keys, embedded structs, advanced SQL conditions that can represent almost any SQL condition using D code that looks similar to regular if statements - Support for transactions - Raw SQL API - Streaming SQL responses (range interface) - Async support with vibe.d - also works standalone with and without multithreading from the application - Multithreaded connection pool Documentation can be found here: https://rorm.rs/ (although very WIP still!) Minimal sample project: https://github.com/rorm-orm/dorm/tree/ee221e6c66bf460b77592c208d1620a93a007a66/testapp Bunch of integration tests, that show all the functionality: https://github.com/rorm-orm/dorm/tree/ee221e6c66bf460b77592c208d1620a93a007a66/integration-tests Feel free to try it out and open issues! The API will probably still change a bunch in the future. However the current modelling capabilities should already suffice for a wide selection of apps you might want to test this in. Looking forward to your feedback. This looks very promising. The embedded feature looks great.
Re: raylib-d v4.2.1 - introducing install script
On Sunday, 18 September 2022 at 17:04:43 UTC, Steven Schveighoffer wrote: Hi everyone, I've released version 4.2.1 of raylib-d. This version is an attempt to fix the issues with linking on Windows. It introduces a new subproject, `raylib-d:install`, which will copy a pre-built binary library of the appropriate version to your project directory. While this is far from complete, it provides a required feature for Windows. Namely, a fix for a faulty bug in the new symbol introduced for raylib 4.2.0 that allows us to validate the binding is correct. The symbol I use was not properly exported for the dll version of raylib. I have included in the repository a *correctly* built raylib.dll, which now allows linking on Windows. At present, the only platform supported with the raylib-d:install script is Windows on X86_64. If you need a pre-build binary for your platform, please open an issue. Note the docs say I have binaries for MacOS x86_64 and arm64, but these are not working at the moment. There is an issue with dub, where it does not properly clone symbolic links, which I believe is caused by Phobos std.zip. I will eventually work around this issue, and eventually I plan to be smarter about the binary files. However, for those of you who have wanted to upgrade to raylib-d for 4.2.0 on Windows, but have ran into linker errors, this is the solution. Please read carefully the new README as I have rewritten it to include detailed instructions (including how to run the new install script) I expect a further release to fix the issues with installing MacOS binaries soon. -Steve https://code.dlang.org/packages/raylib-d https://github.com/schveiguy/raylib-d/blob/master/README.md Thanks for this project Steve, Just trying it out and already enjoying it :)

Converted code is human readable. You can check more examples in the README.md and in `tests/` directory. `dmt` is not yet self hosting, but that is probably the next step. :) Enjoy. Isn't def redundant in this since D already declares types then you can assume if it's not enum, template, mixin template, class, struct or union then it must be a function if it also end with (...): Like: ```d int foo(): return 10 ``` You'd never be in doubt that foo was a function or that: ```d template Foo(T): alias Foo = T ``` Foo in this case was a template. Or like make def optional at least, because I see how it can help porting Python code, but it seems unnecessary if you're writing from scratch. Great project tho!

Yurai - Full Stack Web Framework (Diamond MVC Successor)
Been a while since I've actually posted anything on the forums, but I've still been actively programming in D. Some of you may already be familiar with my existing framework Diamond MVC that heavily builds on top of vibe.d Well, I wasn't happy with how it turned out and so about 1 - 1 1/2 year ago I started planning and working on a new framework to replace Diamond, but still heavily inspired by Diamond and also uses some of the same components. I'm very happy with the result so far and just initially published it now. Yurai is basically a more up-to-date and modern version of Diamond - or at least that's the plan.

WAT! :) And the total cache size is 5.5G. Wow! This build is with dmd 2.084.1 and that one particular application uses tons of template instantiations most of which are in generated source code. If I remember correctly, 2.084.1 does not contain template symbol name improvements and that may be the reason for the large size. Enjoy! Ali The main problem with this is that it does not take string imports into account, (or does it ???, I don't see how it could ) Also the compilers output can depend on the timestamp at which the compilation was done. Yeah, doesn't look like it which means it might not be useful in projects that does a lot of compile-time stuff. There is no way to determine the import statements either as those themselves can be generated at compile-time. I can see this being useful for large projects that does not use CTFE but other than that I think it might just create subtle bugs because you won't immediately know that some part of your code didn't update and isn't working as intended because the code for it was imported from another file etc.

We don't want to put members of the D community at risk if things are not cleared up, or risk travel disruptions for those who do register and make travel plans. We decided it's better to cancel earlier rather than later to minimize the number of people who will need to cancel or rebook their travel arrangements. Personally, I was really looking forward to heading to London and seeing everyone again, but I do agree with the decision. We hope not many of you will be impacted by the decision and we're terribly sorry if you are. Sad to hear this but hopefully people can work something out with an online conference.

From what i've researched, it's more or less the flu... a somewhat more contagious, over-hyped, genetically modified, potentially respiratory infection cold/flu; And likely a tool by government(s) to force unwanted policies down our throats like Martial Law, restriction of travel, Mandatory Vaccines and/or micro-chipping. As well as the government had it since 2015 in certain labs thus more than likely there's already a vaccine. Lots of details on the matter. Unfortunate for DConf to be cancelled. But whatever is considered safest and best for everyone involved. You are very misinformed about it, not sure what your sources are for your "research" but you've done your research the wrong places. It's not "more or less" the flu. They're not in the same category, not even a similar virus. It's in the same family as ex. SARS. The flu has no genetic connection to it. Yes, it's respiratory but that doesn't mean it's the same as the flu. Please take off your tinfoil hat too, there's nobody and I mean nobody in this world that's trying to hide vaccines, not for profit, not for population control. There are far too many researchers and doctors in this world for such a conspiracy theory to even be remotely true. There's a lot of great people currently working all day long trying to find a vaccine and there's one in the workings already but still months until it has been tested properly and can be distributed. Restriction of travel is not Martial law in this case and it's fair to say the governments SHOULD indeed restrict travel. In fact a lot of countries already have done so and that's for good reason. To prevent spread. One of the biggest factors in virus spread is always airports. Mandatory vaccines should be the norm. There are no reasons not to get a vaccine unless you're having an allergic reaction but in that case everyone around you should vaccinate. It's called herd immunity. Micro-chipping will not happen because of this and most likely won't happen in most of the world, if ever because that's a clear violation of human rights as it is currently. You cannot force anyone to do so, it's the same as forcing everyone to get tattoos, which you can't. There are of course companies etc. that offers it but it's all voluntarily and nothing is forced. The world is not out to get you, the government isn't really evil and mostly the world is becoming a better place every day. Regardless of how you look at the world then it's better than it was 100 years ago or even just 50 years ago. We keep improving but that doesn't mean humans don't make mistake and it also doesn't mean there aren't bad apples among us but mostly the world is good and most people will do good. Your whole message comes across as ignorant and it's disrespectful to people that actually are working hard to prevent the spread and/or finding a cure/vaccine.

Jordan Planning to support Derelict too so it can be used along with those bindings and SDL too. The reason why I went with dsfml initially was just that it was easier to start out with rather than fiddling with Derelict. However Derelict supports SFML 2.4 which dsfml doesn't (It's SFML 2.1) so that might be why you went with it and also why I want to support that as well. The engine itself doesn't depend on dsfml, there is a module that interfaces to it but for any other bindings you just create the same interfaces and encapsulates it in its own version scope. https://github.com/Novelate/NovelateEngine/tree/master/source/novelate/external The reason for it is to make sure the engine can be used with existing projects or be implemented into existing games etc.

Working on a new blog for social media bots and technology in general and decided to open-source some of the code I am using for my bots.

Examples, usage etc. will be posted on the blog whenever it's ready along with some other D related stuff. The reason for the image manipulation being done with C# and through CMD was simply to avoid a hassle doing it in D and currently there is no good image manipulation available in D. Of course I could have went with image-magick too but I am more familiar with image manipulation using the .NET Framework so that's why I did it that way. Thank you and it has been while but I definitely hasn't quit using D.

They're actually references with pointer-ish syntax, but that makes people coming from C/C++ more comfortable. * It's not Java, and it's not slower than Java. * There was a team in Google that would rewrite old, crufty C++ code in Go. Was Go a benefit? Maybe in some ways, but the major benefit was a rewrite that the owning team didn't have to do. That earned goodwill among thousands of developers attached to Go as a language. * It's backed by Google (in large part because of that goodwill). I don't think fibers are all that important for Go's success. Maybe for people who would have looked at node.js but didn't want to use javascript? Go is garbage and it's only popular because Google is behind it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the language itself.

Without exhaustively comparing the different pros/cons of the languages, the most important thing that makes me pick D for a project these days is actually vibe.d. It's the perfect balance between letting me expose my low level stuff as a network/web service easily while not trying to take over too much of my application or conversely get me to manually write async network state machines. I'd happily argue that its cooperative fiber model is actually superior to C#'s, and while it's not quite to the level of Go (mostly just because it's not as ubiquitously supported in the standard library), I'll still happily take the trade-off to use a language closer to C/C++. Rust's web framework and cooperative fiber story is still just forming, and I have some concern they'll go down the C# route which while better than nothing, isn't quite as nice as vibe.d where any function can effectively be part of a cooperative fiber without the need for infectious markup everywhere. Rust's syntax is also a fair bit different than C/C++ which makes it harder to collaborate with people for the moment, while D's is close enough that anyone with a decent amount of C/C++ experience can jump in pretty quickly. In terms of what makes me *not* want to use D, while GC is certainly a factor in some uses, in more cases it's actually that I want more language and compiler stability. While things have calmed down somewhat in the past year the number of times a D update has broken code (mine or code in a dependency) and left me trying to debug someone else's code deep in a library somewhere when I'm trying to just do a small update has been far too high. Rust's "stable" branch and their new epochs model (where the language can change every few years but critically dependencies using different epochs work together) is something I would love to be adopted in D. In any case I just wanted to give the feedback that from my point of view the main thing that keeps me coming back to it for new projects is vibe.d. Thus I'm in favor of making vibe.d a big part of the selling point and design considerations for D going forward. Not to brag and what not, but if you're going straight for web and not anything else then use Diamond, because it gives you so much more than vibe.d alone does, but at the same time allows you to utilize vibe.d to its full extend.

Yes. Crystal is a fantastic language already. As someone who uses many languages, I tend to just use what does the task at hand best. I'm sure I'll be able to find some usage for Crystal when it's production ready, but it doesn't mean I'll abandon D. That'll probably never happen, especially considering I have a lot of projects written in D with thousands of lines of code.

I agree with you, but what I mean is that all those nice Go and Crystal web frameworks are actually implemented using exactly the same building blocks, so that their authors didn't have to reinvent the wheel to reimplement them. That's why there are so many available frameworks, and you can easily pick one which closely matches your needs and preferences... Well you don't really need to re-invent the wheel at all with D either tbh. You would need to with vibe.d, because it's really just the skeleton of a web application, but with Diamond? Not so much. It supports things that other frameworks don't even support, which you will end up implementing yourself anyway in 99% of all other frameworks. To give an example, consent, privacy and GDPR. There is no framework, at least what I have seen, that has compliance for such things implemented, but Diamond has it usable straight out of the box. Another example would be validation for email, url, various credit-cards, files (Not just extension, but also whether the data is correct.) etc. most of such validations are very limited in other frameworks or non-existent at all. My point is that, even if those languages has http somewhat standard, they do not implement actual features that are useful to your business logic, application design etc. only to the skeleton. However with frameworks in D you do get the best of both worlds. http://diamondmvc.org/

D allows for plug n' play web server development too.
Then this should be more advertised...
For instance :
https://crystal-lang.org/
The FIRST paragraph of text of Crystal's web page is :
"Syntax
Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels
natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of
a lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs.
# A very basic HTTP server
require "http/server"
server = HTTP::Server.new do |context|
context.response.content_type = "text/plain"
context.response.print "Hello world, got
#{context.request.path}!"
end
puts "Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080";
server.listen(8080)
"
So the FIRST thing you learn about Crystal is that the standard
library already gives you all you need to program a simple
"hello world" web server.
The Go standard library is also known to provide the same
building blocks :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r
*http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, you've requested: %s\n", r.URL.Path)
})
http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)
}
Both are batteries-included for web development. That's why
many developers don't feel the need to use thirdparty
frameworks to implement their microservices...
So if it's also the case for D, then sorry for my mistake...
Sorry. My misunderstanding.
I thought you meant there were no frameworks that could be used
as plug n play for web development.
For this to ever happen std.socket needs to be deprecated already
and rewritten so D can have a standard http module.
I don't really see that happening though.
However I agree with the third party libraries to an extended,
but it's not really an issue. All developers will end up with
third party dependencies in one way or another, especially for
web development. Like you'll most likely end up with some kind of
JavaScript library, some sass/less compiler etc.
If you're a web developer with no dependencies then youre either
reinventing the wheel (could cause trouble in the long run, if
your implementations aren't correct.) Or your application just
isn't more than a hobby project.
Most enterprise projects will have dependencies outside standard
libraries and that is true for ex. Go too.
You also have to remember that D has a very different philosophy.

-sc dub myproject -ex
```
Which will basically create a Hello World! example with a minimal
dub.json
It's possible to fetch scaffolding archives remote, as well fetch
templates online.
See the --remote / -r commands for that.

For examples on templates just see the the folders "templates"
and "scaffold" in the repository.

emeralD - Command-line tool for template files
emeralD is a command-line tool for template files that can be used to generate code files, configurations etc. It's a very useful tool for generating files that you'd normally have to create by hand. The idea for emeralD was not actually by me, but by Moogly (I don't know what he goes by in the forums, if he uses them.) who wanted something to generate files for ex. vibe.d and Diamond. Also additionally thanks to 0xEAB for a few ideas. emeralD is generic and not tied to D files only, but can be used for any type of file within any programming language. For more information see the Github repository and for examples see the read me. Github: https://github.com/DiamondMVC/emeralD Thank you!
