I was hoping that d fibers would be implemented in without using classes, but there are not. On windows you can use the fiber api https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/fibers just as you would do in C.
Re: Modules ... "import" vs. "compilation" ... what is the real process here?

In addition to what Mike Parker said, templates do complicate matters

Ali, this is great! ...I had been tempted to also ask about how templates
figure into this, but realized that including this in my question would be
over complicating the question, so it remained unasked.
But, now I have this part answered as well. I very much appreciate the
mind-reading tricks going on here on the forum!
Be aware that the compiler might not include the code for the template
in the instantiating module if it detects that the instantiation could
already have been generated in an imported module (not one passed on the
command line).
For example, if Ali's module `a` contained an alias:
```d
module a;
auto doubled(T)(T value) {
return value * 2;
}
alias doubleInt = doubled!int;
```
Now the compiler might say "hey, a.d already has instantiated that one,
and it's not being built by me, so I'll assume it has already generated
the code" and doesn't do it.

Re: Loading assimp
I am trying to use a newer version of Assimp. I have found a assimp-vc140-mt.dll (v3.3.1) which I renamed to assimp.dll When running my executable it throws a derelict.util.exception.SharedLibLoadException: "Failed to load one or more shared libraries: assimp.dll - %1 is not a valid Win32 application. Assimp64.dll - The specified module could not be found" Any idea what's going on? Are 64bit dlls not supported?

It just swaps the file names in the error message.
Understanding range.dropBackOne
I'm doing the following: ```D int[25] window = 0; // Later in a loop window = someInteger ~ window[].dropBackOne; ``` But I'm struggling to understand why the following doesn't work ```D window = someInteger ~ window.dropBackOne; ``` What does the `[]` do exactly? Is an array not a bidirectional range?

I'm not maintaining the package anymore, but this is an error from the system loader and has nothing to do with the binding itself. It's the sort of error that usually pops up when trying to load a 32-bit DLL into a 64-bit program, or vice versa. Are you sure it's a 64-bit DLL?
Using D "rocket" logo in outside presentation
Hi D I'm to give a presentation to a combined NASA/ESA group in a few hours and would like to include a copy of the D "rocket" logo when mentioning new server side tools that I've written in D.
