Awesome news! I think we need to take the hiccup as a warning to be more 
mindful of compilers and library bugs reported on behalf of QtD.

Thanks! I find it reasonable to lower our expectations of the 
language/tools for a while. I've decided to go on without const and 
other goodies like the scarcely implemented "alias this".

For now, the most important for me are the issues with struct lifetime 
management. For example, destructors should be called on global struct 
instances. And this one is critical:

It would be great if we soon had a complete and debugged implementation 
of the struct semantics described in TDPL.

Yes, I know it's an important one.

Believe it or not, I just placed order for Andrei's book and UK Amazon
and went to check my email before going to sleep...

Now seeing your message...Whoah!!!

You made my day, or let's say, my night. Dream, sweet dream... :-)

Please, post on the web site how can the project be helped, not only
by the D experts, but by everyone else as well.


Sincerely,
Gour

I'll try to find time for that on the weekend. Even fixing English 
grammar, spelling and stylistic errors on the wiki would help :)

This is indeed good news. I don't do enough with GUIs, but having GUI
library(s) will be a big requirement in D succeeding Good Luck.

Is anyone using QtD also on the beta mailing list? Don has taking on a point
that we should not have known regressions newer than something like dmd 2.37
(until all known regressions have been eliminated) And this will be good for
all projects.

And Gour, I suppose you get some thanks for giving QtD the pat on the back they
missed. Good luck.

Qt ia not only GUI - it also have network, database and data 
structures classes. Which makes me wonder ( to the Qt guys): do you 
plan, once the data structures bindings are done, to add the ranges 
interfaces to them?

 From my (very limited) experience with ranges, they are a bit awkward 
when you need to implement recursive traversal of some data structures. 
Other than that, I think there is no reason we shouldn't try to 
implement them.

Thanks! I'm not using QtD in my current project but it is 100% sure 
that I'll want to use it in the future. 

I would love to help but I need a lot more practice with the language 
(and time).

Yay! Good luck, and hope Walter and co will give your bug reports some
higher priority. I think that is the right thing to do now.

Perhaps someone could update the website to mention that the project is still
active?
