Bindings to clFFT (OpenCL fft library)
Just a heads-up for anyone using/wanting to use OpenCL in D: clFFT [1] is amd's open source fft library for OpenCL, part of clMathLibraries. I needed it for a project so I ported the header, here it is: https://github.com/John-Colvin/clFFT-D http://code.dlang.org/packages/clfft I left the original comments in the file for reference. The original documentation can be found at http://clmathlibraries.github.io/clFFT/ I don't anticipate bugs relating to the port specifically as very little was changed, but please let me know if you do have any problems.

Yeh, that's possible, but that doesn't look like something anyone with any sense would do. The things I found most enjoyable about working on javascript were 1) REPL / fully interactive debugger When you hit a break point you can just start typing regular js code into the console to poke the state of your system. And the convenience of the REPL for seeing what bits of code do as you write them. That's an advantage of an interpreted language, regardless of typing. 2) Duck typing / introspection ability If you have a bunch of objects that have a .width property, and that's all you care about, you can just look for that. No need to declare an IWidthHaver interface and make all of your objects declare that they implement it. D's ranges are examples of this in a statically typed language. You don't care what the type of the range is, just so long as it has the right api.

I thought using typeof in C++ would result in the same answer as the deduction auto provides. From that point of view, there is no need for decltype, because typeof already gives you the actual type in D (which will be the same as the type at declaration). I think you've misunderstood him. You say in the article D does not provide decltype, he is saying that this is misleading: D does but it's just called typeof instead.

It's about enabling the video to reach as wide an audience as possible. Asking people to google for what player to download, download it and install it, then redownload the video, means 98% (made that up) will just sigh and move on without bothering. It taking literally 5 minutes to download before it can be run also does not help. I guess. I've had vlc installed for so many years I never even consider that someone might not be able to play a given media file of any type. Media Player Classic (http://mpc-hc.org/) might be more to your tastes perhaps.

Although I've neglected it for about 2 months now lol, I've been gathering data as my math is not so good.. If anything I make in my engine just happens to be anything I can apply to your team's engine, I'll be sure to contribute. :) Seeing as how you're using a component system.. It's probably just coincidental, but would your project happen to have any relation to BennyQBD's engine? (https://github.com/BennyQBD/3DEngineCpp) Also, I may have skipped over it in this thread, but what was your experience with the D GC in your engine? Was it a problem? Anyway, again, good work, I look forward to our future relationship as D game engine developers. :) Thanks! We're always open to contributors, just drop by our Gitter room[1] and say hi if you've got any ideas, or if you'd just like something to do. We are not related to BenyyQBD's engine, and I've never heard of it, but it does look kind of neat. As far as the GC goes, we pretty much only use it during initialization (and boy do we). I presume you force a collection before the main loop starts?

In fact, so excited we're considering livestreaming the event for the benefit of the many of us who can't make it to Menlo Park, CA. Livestreaming entails additional costs so we're trying to assess the size of the online audience.

Re: Tkd - Cross platform GUI toolkit based on Tcl/Tk
On Sunday, 4 May 2014 at 16:18:53 UTC, Gary Willoughby wrote: Tkd v1.0.0-beta https://github.com/nomad-software/tkd http://code.dlang.org/packages/tkd Overview Tkd is a fully cross-platform GUI toolkit based on Tcl/Tk[1]. Tkd allows you to build GUI applications easily and with the knowledge of a consistent, native look and feel on every platform. Why Tcl/Tk? Tkd development was initiated based on the performance and uptake of the Tkinter[2] toolkit distributed as a standard part of the Python[3] programming language. Tkinter allows developers easy access to GUI programming with very little learning. Being the de facto GUI toolkit of Python has introduced more developers to GUI application programming and increased the popularity of the language as a whole. Tkd is an attempt to provide D with the same resource. Supported platforms Windows Linux Mac OSX Documentation Full HTML documentation is available inside the repository. Notes Because Tkd is based upon Tcl/Tk and being cross-platform in nature there are limitations on what can be achieved. While not as comprehensive as gtkd or qtd, Tkd offers a smaller and lighter alternative for quickly creating native GUI applications. See the readme in the repository for more detailed information.

Moving this to template parameter creates huge amount of template bloat and must be used only if there is no other way around (that usually implies variadic arguments) True in this specific case it might be over the top. It was a template parameter before anyway. Also, this is for acceptance/feature/integration testing, so I doubt anyone would care how much bloat it generates as long as it gets the job done. It will hurt build-times, so it's worth avoiding.
