Fantastic inititive Adam, thanks for donating your time for this. An issue I have tho: // classes are reference types, so they must be // initialized. "MyClass c;", unlike in C++, would // leave c as null, causing a segfault when you try // to use it. That is not really true, is it? In C++ "MyClass c;" is actually THE way to instantiate objects. I know you meant MyClass* but as it is now it is just plain incorrect. Eh.. what exactly is incorrect? In C++ "MyClass c;" stack-allocates the class assuming the default constructor is there (unless of course this is a member declaration in an object that's static or heap-allocated). In D it doesn't, it leaves you with an unitialized reference type.

This first one is awfully ad-hoc, it is literally the result of me copy/pasting links and typing up a bit of prose. You can see the source code here: http://arsdnet.net/this-week-in-d/jan-12.dd But I do certainly want it easy to get contributions, I could try the wiki or github. I'm kinda leaning toward github since I don't actually want it edited once released, then we'll have a more stable look back too. Will there be an archive? Yes, once the links are up I won't take them down and I'll have a list of them on the index page. GitHub for sure!

Great stuff :) Are you planning to make the content open-source so others could suggest edits more easily? Will there be an archive?
