Hi,​ did you consider using Discourse at least as a replacement for comments system? http://www.discourse.org/ It's made by the guys who made stackoverflow.com and it's useful at least as an alternative to disqus and also obviously as a forum. Some blogs (using wordpress) do use Discourse for comm

Re: Microsoft working on new systems language

This is interesting but: - they don't talk about generic code? - it's not clear if their language solves the build time issue C++ have (which D solves) - if it's not a totally open language specification, then it's a dead-end to me.

Re: SteamOS, games programming, and D

A Unity-like or D implementation of Unity would be cool but really D on SteamOS needs 2 things: 1. stable engines for each part of a game-specific engine: I'm making a game right now that really can't be developped using Unity without totally fightining it so I use a combination of Ogre, Rak

Re: C++ guys hate static_if?

Just for complete information, the static_if feature isn't rejected but discussion/effort on it is now delayed. See minutes: http://isocpp.org/files/papers/N3576.pdf My understanding is that focusing on concepts(-light) is a priority for this working group now. Walter was in the meeting so he got

Hi people, I am a game developer (using C++ and various other languages), I stop by sometimes to see how D and it's community evolves. I was reading this interesting (but a bit depressing) thread and I mus just point something for new programmers not knowing a lot about game development: On Sat, A

Hi, I'd like to have more informations about the subsets of D. My current understanding is that D have at least one subset that is called SafeD, I m reading that article about it right now: http://dlang.org/safed.html I first thought there was only SafeD but in a recent video from Lang.Next mr Ale

Re: John Carmack applauds D's pure attribute

As a (not as experienced as other) game developer, I'd like to share my point of view (again). 1. smart pointer vs GC war isn't the point, it's a knowledge & implementation war and isn't related to languages that allow both (as C++ & D). 2. C++ base code is just there and ready to be used. Only be

Re: Biggest Issue with D - Definition and Versioning

Hi, here are my random 2 cents about the gamedev point, as someone who have worked in the game industry and will get to full-indie gamedev in the future : A. C# is used a lot in the industry because : 1. It's easier to code with than C++ and with decent performance; 2. It's hugely easy to setup
