Hi, I use Java for deploying a web server, and wanted to
test out D.  A few questions:

1) Are there tools to translate Java to D?

2) Is there a place where people contribute libraries?

3) Is there anything like a servlet in D?  If I write a spec
for this, is it posible to contribute it to the standard
library?

4) Apart from the "urlread" library that I saw somewhere,
are there any other network oriented libraries?

Cheers,

grep? :)

No, nothing really. I think the difference is so minor, that some simple regexp
magic would do most of it...

And D seems to be the best thinkable language to write it in. :)


2) Is there a place where people contribute libraries?

Nope. Someone is working on a Sourceforge-like global repository. For now,
Helmut's WIKI holds some links.

Standard library group is being created right now. In principle, contributions
are welcomed, but it's not already clear what the standard library would look
like in general. It may very well be that GUI, networking, and so on, will not
be parts of the core library, but available separately. Of course, with time
they shall also have some kind of "standard" status...


4) Apart from the "urlread" library that I saw somewhere,
are there any other network oriented libraries?

Nothing i was aware of.

No doubt!

Benji hows the site coming ?  Lots of people here to help if you need.

I gave  up trying to port libcurl, but I might try again, or if someone else
wants to try I have a simple D script that will sort-of convert it.
