Saw a library recently which allowed you to color text, but it
had an odd syntax.
Maybe the documentation, in trying to be exhaustive, hasn't
showed how simple it can be. I'm not sure why it is perceived as
odd. Can you clarify?
Since I already had some code for coloring text in terminals, I
made this (hackish, POSIX only) project during lunch break. It
in action:
import std.stdio : writeln;
import termcolor;
import textattr;
// Color → Green → Foreground
writeln(C.green.fg, "Green text", resetColor);
writeln(ta("green"), "Green text", ta("off"));
*or* the shorter:
writeln(ta("g"), "Green text", ta("f"));
*or* the even shorter:
tawrite("@g", "Green text", "@f", '\n');
The @ indicates that it is an "at"tribute.
It's not an issue to add a tawriteln which adds the newline at
the end. I first posted the basic library thinking to make
additions as per demands later.
// Color → Red → Background
writeln(C.red.bg, "Red background", resetColor);
tawrite("@/red", "Red background", "@off", '\n');
The / indicates that it's a background colour. This is stated in
the HTML documentation, but maybe not clear within the
limitations of the README.md. I'll see what I can do to improve
it.
Having premade symbols in the library as you have done is easy
enough for basic 16-colour or even attribute support, but adding
256 colour or true colour support this way would unnecessarily
use up too much memory.

textattr library for text colors and attributes available in D
https://github.com/jamadagni/textattr/ textattr is a library and command-line tool that makes adding color and attributes to beautify the terminal output of your program easier by translating human-readable specs into ANSI escape codes. The library is available for C, C++, Python and D. C++ and Python use the C code for internal processing but the D code is a separate implementation for easy inclusion of textattr.d in a D compilation command without requiring any external linking.

Re: Please vote for the DConf logo
I prefer 3. It's simple, but effective. The graphic looks like an Olympic torch to me, which is good, indicating that D is a champion! :-) IMHO 2 needs the graphic to be more stylistic, otherwise it's good and simple. If it is improved, maybe it can be used later/elsewhere. But I don't get the message of 1. The graphic is too complicated, and the significance of its components is not self-evident. Appreciate the work people are putting into this, though. No offence to any artist intended... -- Shriramana Sharma, Penguin #395953
Dhee - tiny app to learn/try out D
I wrote up a small PyQt app to help me do quick coding of snippets in D to help me learn how D works. https://github.com/jamadagni/dhee I wish there was (a working) QtD so I wouldn't need to use Python, but well... Looked into GtkD a bit, but somehow Gtk never clicked with me... P.S.: I only cross-posted as I thought this is relevant to both announce/learn. -- Shriramana Sharma, Penguin #395953
Re: Moving forward with work on the D language and foundation
Respect to Andrei for his decision, and I pray that his good intentions are sufficiently rewarded. Jonathan M Davis via Digitalmars-d-announce wrote: > Wow.

Hopefully companies which are interested in leveraging D's performance/syntax combination will consult with the Foundation and so the finances (both the Foundation's and thereby Andrei's) will be taken care of. The Python foundation seems to have done that nicely for Python. While I'm still "getting my D-legs" (< https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sea_legs) I do think D is the right way to combine Python-like high level syntax and C/C++-level power. I tried Cython but somehow it didn't click for me. And as for Go and Rust and all those other contenders, naah... [Is it even possible to write a Go/Rust compiler in Go/Rust? Or have they tried?] Of course, all this is made possible by the great D community, the "Demos" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demos#Latin).

I think it would be a great show-casing of D's capabilities. Just a suggestion and I may be totally off mark here, but will you have it directly output machine code? Or just the front end? I keep hearing praises of LLVM back-end so if your compiler outputs the LLVM IR code then maybe you can have the rest of the benefit from LLVM. But of course, if this is a PoC that D Caen be used to write a full compiler to output machine code then LLVM's off... -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा
