dstats beta?

2009-09-20 Thread dsimcha
I'm thinking that my dstats library should "officially" be declared beta. dstats is a library of statistics functions in native D2 code with a native D2 api, and thus allows statistical calculations to be easily integrated into larger programs that require a general-purpose language. It is located

Rationals Lib

2009-10-10 Thread dsimcha
I've created a small D2 lib for performing operations on rational numbers. It's templated to work on any integer type that supports the relevant operators. Usually this would be used with some type of arbitrary precision integer. It can work with fixed-size integers, though overflows would be gen

Quick question: Will D .net allow for the use of regular Phobos I/O functionality instead of the .net versions if one prefers? If basic I/O functionality isn't compatible between D .net and other implementations of D, then for all practical purposes they will be different languages.

Sheer awesomeness! I've been waiting for along time for a decent collections lib for D2. I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely builds w/o a hitch (using a custom build script I wrote that builds dcollections and other libs I use in one go) and works for the toy examples I tested.
