I did program E for some years. It already had non-null terminated strings like D has, buildin gui toolkit and precompiled headers/modules. But yes, it has a hidious syntax. It was free and compiled fast on my Amiga. ;)

No problem.  You must have just modified unittest in the last few minutes; it now compiles without errors.

Thanks,

Hi,
I want to try the same thing actually. Good to hear that it works well. Could you point me to some D binding for the allegro library please?

The binding I use has been written by myself. Up to now it works, but I
admit I've not thorougly tested. Maybe you can help:)
I'm running linux, and I've not managed yet to compile D with Allegro under
Windows, mainly because I don't know how to do the "ALLEGRO_MAIN()" thing.

If you want, I can email you a zip with all the files I use!

Byez:)

How about D-minor?

Well dang, I guess I shouldn't have just ordered that Athlon64 and pc3200 ram, eh? ... all my compile times are going to drop like crazy. And I use ccache and distcc with my other computer ("just" a 1GHz duron).

It isn't the only language called E. About 10 years ago, I wrote the specification for an E language and implemented it. It was a scripting language within an application (or application framework). The same piece of code would look like:

entry main()
    Print("My first program\n");
end main;

The rationale for "E" was trademark issues and that the application was handling EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).
