I did.  I have a few 'simple' C++ like classes like "vector" (C++-like) DEVector
(double ended version - empty space and elements can be on either end), and
priority queue (simple heap version).

Would these be interesting as a part of the library?  If so, do I start a
dsource project, email them somewhere, etc?  Is there a general rule for this?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to write up these sorts of things.

I would recommend starting a dsource project. Get Brad to create a project
space for you etc... I did this for Build and its been pretty easy to use,
including the SVN stuff.

Okay - I'll take a few days to flesh out/clean up what I have now and create a
project in a few days.  Goal: 'mostly drop-in' replacements for porting of C++
code, plus maybe a few D-ish versions of the same functionality.

He must be a fan of D, then : ) Your army is growing.

Of course, it is kind of funny seeing a huge leauge of unregistered 
posters suddenly saying good things about D.

I/we have been accused of being paid to promote it, lol. Since then I 
have tried to concentrate on both strengths/weaknesses.

I mentioned it to my CS professor, Timothy Budd, and he said he'd take a 
look at it, since he likes to learn a new language every year :)

Out of curiousity, has anyone heard of him before? I was just wondering 
because although he's a professor here at Oregon State, he has also 
written a whole bunch of programming books.

  Any decent Smalltalker will have heard of Timothy Budd and his Little

Seems he's a prolific author, but none of the books have made it to the 
top 10 on Amazon.

Probably has something to do with the fact that most of them were either 
written before Amazon was around, or are text books, mainly used in 
conjunction with a CS course, which means the majority of them are 
probably bought through school book stores.

Name sounds familiar .... computer algorithms? Seems like I looked at
one of his books when I was trying to figure out "skip lists" or
"red-black trees" or something like that.
