D - Let's organize ourselves - a plan for D APIs.

I am saying all this because many people have individually started to code 
libraries, especially GUIs. It would be a waste of resources for each one of us 
to try individually, since APIs are a lot of work. Therefore, I suggest we make 
some sort of 'committee', by whoever is willing to participate, and produce a 
set of specifications for the APIs that should exist.

After we finish specifications, we can divide the work in chunks and proceed to 
the implementation either individually or in groups.

What does everybody think on this ?

On the other hand, perhaps Walter will continue to neglect the library 
until such time that "child protective services" places Phobos in a 
foster home.

There seems to be an accumulating collection of Phobos bugs in with 
simple fixes that aren't corrected in later releases. Not that they're 
major things, but it's discouraging. Of course, if the upcoming DMD 0.83 
fixes these I won't have to re-post bug reports.

The small committee could filter all of the bug-fixes ect... that come 
from the wider community and hand a few fixes into Walter at once.  
Could take a bit of time of Walters shoulders.

I think D is in fact in need of several things:

1) A template library.  Hopefully DTL will cover this.

2) A LIBC-style library.  This is more or less what Phobos is, but I think it
needs some restructuring.

3) A class library like JFC.


some complications in 
this:  namely, since D is not a runtime'd language we won't have lots of runtime
libs hanging around, 
which is why I think it should work like this:

A D class library committee will define the interfaces, contracts, invariants,
and unit-tests for a full set 
of APIs like JFC or .NET's core classes.  Then individuals may write libraries
that conform to this 
specification, and perhaps extend it.

Example:  This hypothetical class library might specify a socket-wrapper API.  I
might write a 
networking library that implements the core API, but is optimized for game
writing.  It might have 
additional support for other features, but it is required to implement the core
API.  This might include 
things like requiring me to expose a Socket class in net.sockets.socket, and
specify a list of functions it 
must implement.

I guess it boils down to this:  we need to define a module layout and minimum
API requirements for 
libraries.  Then library authors are free to innovate and explore new features
to their hearts' content, 
but a programmer is guaranteed a minimum level of functionality no matter which
library he uses.

Admittedly, there is no way to force someone to implement the code API, but I
think that if 
implementing the core API spec were made an advertising point for a library,
people would be quick to 
do so.

*phew*  That was rather long winded, but I think I got the point across.

It certainly is (IMHO, that is).

I would volunteer to sit in the group (for at least a few minutes a 
week), although I no longer believe that I'm able to head it. Maybe I 
could be a member of the group proper, then retire to be a reviewer 
after many years of hard work? ;)

Seriously, dsource.org is the place for this. Not only does Phobos need
a foster home, it need to be placed in a version control repository.
Walter is still the boss of the language, but as we now have two 
compilers available, we more than ever need some central place to keep
common code distributed with both (all) of them.

But for anything of this to 'work', Walter needs to say that he accepts
that a group is in 'charge'. Walter will be able to review and veto,
of course. Well, you get my drift. We need a group, somewhere to keep
phobos, fix phobos, and get it released.

It's not "secret", just "work in progress". Would you have us post sometimes
several compiler updates a day on the newsgroup, of no benefit to anyone
else?

AFAIK, Walter collaborates with others as well, as the need arises.

As for DTL, I am hoping for heaps of feedback on all kinds of aspects, once
I've got the compiler support for the basic mechanisms I need.

I am just fed up with programming languages that get in the way. D does not,
but it does not have the APIs. It's a shame to see Java win the programming 
language battle, since it is clearly inferior to D.

Of course, Sun has gazillions of programmers behind Java...

I suggest we 
organize ourselves and design the APIs and libraries which Digital Mars will 
approve as the official D APIs.


 
 
 [...]
 
 

After we finish specifications, we can divide the work in chunks and proceed to 
the implementation either individually or in groups.

What does everybody think on this ?


 
 
 It's the right way to do it.
 It's not Walter's way of doing it.
 Seems that Walter's and Matthew are now in (I instist) *secret*
 conversations to come up with some thing for the DTL.
 
 Can you change that?

I guess it stands for D template Library.

I don't know if you are old enough to know about
a language called C++.

The idea comes from the C++ Standard Template Library.

I posted a few times before, yes.

It takes much more than a DTL, I am afraid. 

Yesterday, I did a presentation of D to my colleagues. They were impressed by
the language, but they all asked the same question:

"What can I do with it ?"

Come on guys, it's the APIs that count. We all know this...without APIs, D is
doomed to failure.

Somebody will say that C++ did not fail, even if they were no APIs available.
Well, that is half the truth. There are lots of C++ apps around, each one based
on a specific toolkit provided either by the vendor of the O/S (WIN32/MFC,
Motif) or by a third party (Qt, WxWindows, etc). 

When these companies needed to use C++ in order to write big applications, there
was nothing around so they invested and produced the toolkits mentioned above.
But now the situation is different. D comes at a time that Java/.NET reigns
supreme, and the C++ world is covered by the toolkits mentioned above. 

That is why, in my opinion, D needs a uniform set of cross-platform high-quality
APIs to begin with.

Isn't that exactly what he is trying to avoid?

First let's see what's needed and how it's should be implemented.
Then the first that needs it would write it (for the platform s/he needs it).

Exactly. It's not what I plan to write, it is what it is needed to get D
accepted by software houses.

I think the following libs are needed:

1) collections
2) callbacks (signals and slots/events)
3) sockets
4) gui
5) database
6) filesystem
7) compression
8) xml

The Java's APIs is a good start...Qt is also another good place to look for what
core APIs need.

Feel free to add anything you need.
