Some of the links have pretty long text, is that intended? For example: "an early developer of C++ compilers starting from the mid-’80s, including the first C++ compiler to translate source code directly to object code without using C as an intermediate" All that is one link. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Yes. Joakim submitted the text with the links already formatted and I left them in place.

It's also on Hacker News, but access it via the front page rather than this URL, otherwise up/downvotes will not count: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1239047

 From the article:

 We nailed it [simplicity] with arrays (Jan Knepper’s idea)
D arrays are a great example of simple, but not easy. For details see the Slices article section "Determinism". https://dlang.org/d-array-article.html

Good write-up. However the font-family and font-size makes reading a little difficult.

FYI: You can fix it directly (https://github.com/dlang/D-Blog-Theme) or open an issue there too ;-)

The font family is the same as the rest of dlang.org. As for the size, what sort of device and resolution are you using? The theme is a modified version of one of the stock Wordpress themes. I tweaked it to have a bit of a larger font, but it's a responsive theme with settings for multiple resolutions and it's possible I missed something (I'd really love to have someone with lots of CSS experience to maintain the theme full-time -- it's just not my thing). Otherwise, font family and size are both highly subjective and I'm not inclined to change it unless I get a mass of complaints about it. You can always increase the size in your browser (like Ctrl + mouse wheel in Chrome, which will remember it).
