digitalmars.D.announce - small promotion for Dlang and Mir

My article [1] in Journal of Mathematical Sciences (Springer) 
will be released this October. It notes D standard library 3 
times:

1. findRoot. D implementation is significantly better then 98% of 
others  for the problem because the problem behaves like 
pathological. Thanks to ieeeMean
2. logmdigamma
3. logmdigammaInverse

The article is already available online [1].
Of course the source code for the article was written in D [2].

If you want to use D for Science or Machine Learning go forward 
with Mir project [3].

Also you can help Mir in
  - 5 second: star the project https://github.com/libmir/mir
  - 1 hour+:
      - opt1: Write an article or about ndslice or mir.glas [6] 
(upcoming BLAS implementation in D)
      - opt2: Add small enhancement you want, see also [4]
      - opt3: Include new chapter about ndslice and Mir to the 
Dlang Tour [7]
  - 1 day+: Became an author for a new package, see also [5].

Companies can order numerical, statistical, and data mining 
algorithms and services. We work with web and big data.

How stable is Mir? I have recently stripped my library for 
embedding R inside D down to the minimum amount and created an R 
package to do the installation. Therefore it is trivial to 
install and get started on Linux.* I would like to test how it 
works to mix R and Mir code. However, I don't want to dig into 
that until Mir is in a stable state.

* Also Windows and Mac, but since I don't have either of those 
machines, I cannot do any work with them.

Recent release v0.15.3 is stable.
v0.17.0-alpha3 may have API changes in mir.glas and mir.random.

mir.ndslice will be removed in favor of std.experimental.ndslice, 
but redirection imports will work during long deprecation period 
(like in Phobos).

Thank you for the star)

Damn, I didn't even realize that std.numeric had a root function!
