I hope I could help D and use D some day. Any thoughts?

Here is something which I plan to do: install Free(PC)BSD stable
(there will be 8.2 release soon) and stop worrying about all those
packages for the above Linux distros and just update your OS when the
new Free(PC)BSD release become available. ;)


Sincerely,

Help to port DWT to D2. Or update to newer versions of SWT.

And in short bits of free time, go through bugzilla and propose pull 
requests that fix issues.

Should the pull requests be made in bugzilla or on github?
BTW is pull request preferred over patches?

I don't have much experience with pull requests but I think that's the 
way of the future.

Go to a park. :-P

Seriously, some years later you will regret it. If you work at least 6 
hours a day and you spend 7 hours extra in the computer, it's too much 
for your eyes, brain and body...

DDMD could use more activity:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddmd

LLVM needs exception support on Windows.

I *think* LDC and GDC need more work on their D2 versions.

The Druntime and Phobos teams have already done 70% of the work.

AFAIK, missing D2 features are:
- TLS symbols: Need to be more than just stub variables, but still just about
usable as they are.
- DbC: In/Out Contract Inheritance not implemented.

Rest is either ironing out the corner cases of codegen, or working on some fancy
GCC addition.

Does LLVM still need 64bit calling convention support?
