Are you using a translator to translate from Chinese to English? "Read-understand“ doesn't mean "understand" in English, only in Chinese :). Phobos2 is being worked on right now. I think it's getting better. On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 5:11 AM, dolive wrote: > Yao G. 写到: > > > On Tue, 05 Oct 2010

Re: What would you rewrite in D?

Yes! When I was trying to get D to work with HTTPS, it took me a long time to figure out how to do it. I ended up using GnuTLS, somehow, with someone's help. On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 9:53 PM, Seth Hoenig wrote: > > Open SSL > http://www.peereboom.us/assl/assl/html/openssl.html > > >

Re: What do people here use as an IDE?

I'm by no means an "actual D programmer" but I like to use Code::Blocks. I've heard VisualD and Descent are also very nice. There's also a guy working on D.dev ( http://d-dev-ide.blogspot.com/2010/07/ddev-progress-july-2010.html). On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 8:57 PM, Michael Stover wrote: > Elephant

Perhaps it's just like D 1.0 and it's only in maintenance mode, until DDT officially releases. On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 9:20 PM, Eric Poggel wrote: > On 10/12/2010 10:11 PM, Michael Stover wrote: > >> Descent is a dead project, replaced by DDT which doesn't have a release. >> Also, I'm running Li

Re: What do people here use as an IDE?

I agree with you very much here. GUI libraries and IDE support are very low priority items for D. It would be a sad day for everyone if the people working on the dmd and Phobos dropped their current work and started working on an IDE. So, low priority doesn't mean it can't be done until the higher

Re: duck!

It doesn't matter if it sounds unintuitive to you right now, eventually if you keep using it, the word will stick. duck! is a nice name, so I'm fine with the idea. On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 4:46 PM, JimBob wrote: > > "Andrei Alexandrescu" wrote in message > news:i9ae2n$k9...@digitalmars.com... >

Re: duck!

I think it's safe to say this is pretty much duck-typing in D (?) So then, if duck! is used, it puts emphasis on what the function allows D to do (duck-typing), while if as! is used, it sounds more intuitive (kinda like ".respond_to?" in Ruby) . So going with my previous statement, if you keep usi

Re: duck!

According to wikipedia, duck typing is a style of dynamic typing where an object's methods/properties determine what i can do. On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 2:14 PM, Kagamin wrote: > Michel Fortin Wrote: > > > The problem is that D doesn't have duck-typing. The adapter pattern > > isn't duck-typing. D

Re: duck!

Haha! But many people consider the interface system in Go as duck-typing, so imo duck! is a very suitable name. On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 2:25 PM, Adam D. Ruppe wrote: > > The problem is that D doesn't have duck-typing. > > But it does and it has for a long time: > > void func(A)(A a) { > a.quack

Re: duck!

The very important principle here for the naming is making it obvious that D supports an element of duck-typing. Naming it duck! does just that. Advertisability is not what I would use to describe it. How about clarity, articulateness, and lucidity? On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 4:52 PM, Michael Chen
