Excellent talk.  Gives us a good idea of the things which are missing for  

our efforts.

I have old SHA etc hashing routines in old style D, this makes me want to  
spend some time bringing them up to date...

The sha digest in phobos is SHA1.

Funny.. the module listing on the left is not in alpha ordering, so I  
completely missed them.

Any chance of getting those merged into Phobos?

It just needs some time/love.

I have very old versions of the source (prior to it's inclusion in  
Tango).  Last time I looked the Tango devs had made some structural  
changes and found/fixed an endian related bug.

So.. my code needs re-structuring to fit the current phobos model, it  
needs the endian bug fixed, and it needs complete documentation (it has  
none).

I am happy to donate the existing code, in it's current sorry state to  
whomever has the time for all that.  It could use some testing on a big  
endian platform - as I have done none.  There are unittests which perform  
the standard tests and maybe a few others IIRC.

It's been a while..

I think at some point I could be good to add a read-only *real* announce
list, so people only interested in knowing when a new release is
available don't have to deal with a group like this that have a lot of
traffic. This can also be easily covered by a RSS feed though.

It's not a D thing. It's an Andrei thing. He likes to tell people to destroy

Just watched it over lunch and I liked this talk very much.

For transforming pieces of code I very often write Vim regex,
(supports multiline with a flag) and when that is not
enough, writing a Vim function does the trick.

About streams: there is some phobos support for streams, though
it seems not finalized.

I wish something were done about the containers. Note that it

on T[] and T[K] internally (though a concurrent hash map with
read/write locking would need to be done from scratch without
using AAs).

It is not true that Array!T is equivalent to List<T>.
Array!T wants to own their items (because it manages its own
memory), so it is only practically useable with structs.
Even duplicating the array is unsafe if the element type
is a class:

import std.stdio, std.container;

class A {
    int val;
    this(int v) {
        val = v;
    }
    ~this() {
        writeln("A destroyed");
    }
}

void func(Array!A list) {
}

void main() {
    A a = new A(3);
    Array!A list;
    list ~= a;
    writeln(a.val);    //prints 3
    func(list.dup);    //prints A destroyed
    //<-- The object cannot be used anymore, though it
    //    is still present in 'list')
    writeln(a.val);    //prints 0
}

And one cannot use RefCounted!A because RefCounted doesn't
work with classes.
I guess that RedBlackTree's suffer the same problem.

I would love to say that I have set aside enough time to do it, but it's  
very difficult to find the time :(

I hate to commit to a certain time frame, I have done that here in the  
past and have been very wrong with my expectations.

That being said, my lack of effort on D stuff is really pissing me off,  
and I want to spend more time on it.  Dconf really has yanked me back into  
D, and I want to finish all the loose ends I've started, including  
dcollections, this streaming stuff, and some other little bits.

He's working on std.io, which would replace std.stdio and provide streams. 
That is likely to get into Phobos after full review. dcollections on the other 
hand will never be in Phobos. Anyone is free to take the guts of its 
containers and submit them to Phobos, but the API that dcollections has does 
not match that of std.container, a while std.container does need a few tweaks, 
it's never going to have the same design as dcollections. Andrei and Steven 
disagree on some things such that what Steve did with dcollections' API is 
incompatible with std.container (in particular with regards to ranges).

The two things holding std.container back are getting custom allocators sorted 
out (which Andrei is working on), and people need to submit new containers. 
They're not going to just magically appear. dcollections has some solid 
implementations of containers which can be adapted to std.container (that's 
where RedBlackTree came from), but nothing is going to be able to come from 
dcollections exactly as-is due to the differences in API.

There are other libraries besides from Phobos that contains some of the 
missing functionality.

Tango:

* Several SHA implementations
* Stream based IO
* Modules for manipulating text and Unicode
* Timer/stop watch
* Heap and stack

Source code: https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2
Docs: http://dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/current/

dcollections may contain some collections needed.

There are quite a few things that Phobos is still missing, but this isn't one

Most of System.Timers is missing from Phobos. There is a LOT more than  
just a stopwatch in it.

 There are other libraries besides from Phobos that contains some of the  
 missing functionality.

 Tango:

 * Several SHA implementations
 * Stream based IO
 * Modules for manipulating text and Unicode
 * Timer/stop watch
 * Heap and stack

 Source code: https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2
 Docs: http://dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/current/

 dcollections may contain some collections needed.

was only fair to compare to DMD 2.062 and Phobos. Once you start comparing  
and contrasting third party libraries the scope of the topic quickly  
balloons in size. The biggest problem I had in putting this talk together  
was deciding what to cut. I ended up leaving about 60% of my originally  
planned content on the cutting room floor... I really wanted to give you  
guys more!

to D I assume, and hope, you would take a practically approach. That is, 
using third party libraries if needed and not saying something like "If 
it's not in Phobos we cannot use it".

In real life I would absolutely use third party libraries where available.  
I would definitely recommend people do the same. In retrospect I probably  
should've said something to that effect in the closing of my talk ... So  
many things I would say differently!

Adam, for your talk you never said what your rational was for

there is one ?).  wWhy go to all this effort ?

Well, the reason I started looking for alternatives in the first place is  
exactly as mentioned in the talk. I found the Generic Constraints to be  
far too constraining... if you'll pardon the pun. But indeed there are  
more reasons than just constraints. There are certain things that just  

concept of purity. No const. No shared. No built-in unittests. And that's  
just off the top of my head, I'm probably forgetting a few.

He said something like: the programming world isn't just Microsoft. 
Perhaps they like to use some other platform.
