Hello fair D hackers!

I’d like to announce the availability of 3T Software Labs MongoDB tools to the readers of this list.

To forward-thinking D adopters and MongoDB users alike, I’d like to extend a special 60-day trial of all the apps in our suite at http://3tsoftwarelabs.com/evaluation-edition using the code ‘DLNG’.

My apologies for the spam if you’re not a MongoDB user.

If you are, I hope you enjoy our tools and find them useful.

Like many of the pioneering D projects described on this list, we’ve just started our adventure, and would love to hear any feedback you have.


Thanks a lot,

Graham
3T Software Labs

To clarify: you've built these tools in D? Or do the tools provide some kind of D API to MongoDB?

Best,

They've posted this same thing to a number of different mailing
lists in last day or so. Looks valid code however hence I didn't
say anything earlier.

Yep, a google search for the above text turns up almost identical posts to Clojure, Scala, Haskell, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails forums also.  Looking at their website, it appears they're a three-person startup building dev tools, likely written in Java, for noSQL databases like MongoDB, mostly GUI tools to view and modify a database.  So it doesn't appear to have anything specific to do with D, just GUI apps that those using MongoDB might find helpful.

In other words this is just spam.

Sorry to have caused any offence, that was certainly not the intent. In the initial instance I did already apologise for the spam if you're not a MongoDB user.

Like MongoDB, I’ve noted that D tends to be favoured by forward-thinking individuals and used on pioneering projects.

This is simply a gift from us to you.

If this was inappropriate I'll not post such messages again.


Thanks again,

Announcing D-related commercial products here is entirely appropriate. -- Andrei

Absolutely. But I don't see how these tools are in any way D-related.
