Many of you know I've been around D for a long time now and picked up a lot of random tricks over the years, so it isn't every day I learn about a new old feature in the language's basic syntax.

Would you like to know more?

http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2021_02_15.html

I also showed how you can use anonymous classes in betterC without any crazy hacks btw!


Lately most my blog posts have just been quick updates on what features are coming in my libraries, but I still write these more general-knowledge kind of tips from time to time. (and sometimes the lib entries can be generally educational too like my little attempt at demystifying fibers a couple months ago: http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.fibersocket.html#conceptual-overview )

I came across anonymous classes by reading your minigui codes, such as [1] some time ago. I did not read anything about them except your sources. Good reading, thanks.

Yeah, I sometimes see them on lists of features to be cut from D since they aren't well known, but I'd miss them if they were gone. It isn't terribly important but I find them pretty convenient.

Better be careful, there's about 250 entries now so you could waste away trying to read it all! (About 145 in twid's first iteration and now about 115 in the second iteration. Of course most of them are probably pretty boring, but like skimming the old iteration's tip of the week index here http://arsdnet.net/this-week-in-d/totw-index.html might be educational too. I need to index out the old interviews and such too, my stuff is easy enough if you keep up with it but it has poor searchability/skim ease looking back on it.)

DWT users knew about anonymous classes as they are used a lot there. Of course as SWT is a Java based library, D had to had the features to ease the porting.
