- Walter (3/11) Mar 02 2002 What's in the spec right now should be 1.0. -Walter
- Pavel Minayev (3/4) Mar 03 2002 Any (probably approximate) release date? Or "when it's done"?

The release date was 6 months ago
. - Walter (3/5) Mar 02 2002 Just realized "b" won't work, it's a hex digit. There goes consistency!
- OddesE (9/14) Mar 02 2002 So bt then? Or by?
It looks a bit strange to me... for example, compare these
two lines of code:
int[] a;
...
a ~= 1; // works
a = a ~ 1; // doesn't work!
Looks weird... why can't I concatenate an int array and a
single interger? Furthermore, I believe that the following
should work as well:
a = 1 ~ a;
a = 1 ~ 2;
Take a look at the latter - binary ~ should make an array
out of its operands if they aren't already arrays. This
could be a very useful operation, since it practically
replaces array literals:
double max(double[] n) { ... }
double a, b, c, d;
...
d = max(a ~ b ~ c);
Using suffices, array of almost any built-in type can be
constructed:
1 ~ 2 ~ 3 int[]
1U ~ 2U ~ 3U uint[]
1L ~ 2L ~ 3L long[]
1UL ~ 2UL ~ 3UL ulong[]
1.0 ~ 2.0 ~ 3.0 double[]
...............................
Only byte and short don't have their suffices (BTW, why
not? "b" and "s" would suite just fine).
What do you think of this, Walter? Is it a good idea?

By the way, with all those feature requests around... =) You've mentioned several times that some things will be implemented sooner or later, but probably won't get into version 1. Do you have any "feature list" of what gets there, then? Templates are out, I guess, what about operator overloading? In other words, what should we expect by DMD 1.0 release, whenever it happens?
