Visual D 0.3.36

Aldacron — Sat, 11 May 2013 16:50:35 +0000

I’ve missed a lot of D news during my mostly-offline, 3-week trip to the States. I decided not to dig through the newsgroups to sum it all up here, primarily because my hot dog shop is so busy now (thanks to a fantastic magazine review and several favorable blog posts) that I’ve hardly had time to even look at a computer. I did manage to get caught up on some Derelict stuff and I’ve been checking newsgroups for the latest announcements.

That brings me to the very latest, which is the real point of this post. Rainer has announced a new version of VisualD, which includes Alexander Bothe’s DParser from Mono-D. There’s also a new “Compile & Run” command along with support for LDC.

On a side note. I was surprised to learn at DConf that Rainer wasn’t already an expert at the Visual Studio framework when he first started the project, but had to learn a lot along the way. He surely must be by now!

Both the video and slides for Walter’s keynote at DConf 2013 are now available online. I haven’t looked at it yet, but some people have had some issues. Some pdf versions of the slides have also been posted. Follow the newsgroup announcement for more info.

EDIT: Might as well embed it here since it’s up at YouTube.

DConf 2013 Day One

Aldacron — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:16:30 +0000

Day one of DConf is behind us. Right now, day two is under way and I’m typing this on my phone because I got back to my room too late last night to do it. It’s safe to say I had a great time.

Things kicked off with a keynote from Walter, followed by several presentations. I won’t summarize them here, as videos will be online eventually. I found all of them informative, but given my interest in game development, Manu’s talk on using D alongside a game engine was the one I was most looking forward to. If you’ve not yet seen it on Twitter, the money quote from that talk was, “The gaming industry is desperate for salvation from C++.”

The best part of the conference has been the mingling. Being able to put faces to all the familiar names is just awesome. I’ve been party to a number of great discussions. It’s so much more interesting to do that face-to-face than on the newsgroups. Plus, I witnessed history last night in the lobby of the Aloft hotel as the rvalue reference problem was solved after a long and spirited discussion.

This has been a fantastic experience so far. And day two has gotten off to a good start.

A few pics here.
