digitalmars.D - Can we please kill the hyphenator already?
- Andrej Mitrovic (14/14) Sep 29 2013 We're literally having new people coming in to IRC every day saying
- Kiith-Sa (7/32) Sep 29 2013 +1
- Andrei Alexandrescu (3/17) Oct 01 2013 Fixed - I just pushed the fixed druntime docs.
- Andrej Mitrovic (4/5) Oct 01 2013 It's also apparently loading hyphenator here:
- Brad Anderson (6/12) Oct 01 2013 Deleting "js/hyphenate.js" from the server would do the trick
- Andrej Mitrovic (4/8) Oct 04 2013 And in http://dlang.org/ddoc.html
- Andrei Alexandrescu (3/12) Oct 04 2013 Removed the js files from the site, uploaded fresh dox.
- Andrej Mitrovic (4/5) Oct 04 2013 Thanks.
We're literally having new people coming in to IRC every day saying they can't read the D documentation because of hyphenator completely blocking the website (before the browser forces it to stop loading). If Andrei still wants it in, fine, but re-add it **later** once it's fixed or implemented properly. We can't have the site be unusable in the meantime. E.g. loading the following page blocks the latest version of Firefox for several seconds before getting a dialog box asking the user to stop the script: http://dlang.org/phobos/core_time.html Remove hyphenator, sync up the website, and them make a decision on what to do later. I am really pissed off at how many D newcomers get thrown off, because someone is sitting on their hands with the key to the website in their pocket. We might as well (as a community) move the entire website over to another place, and end this veto nonsense.

Cosmetic features like this are OK but only if they don't slow users down. If they _are_ slowing users down, they shouldn't exist.
