The tip could probably use a rewrite in editing, but I'm out of time again tonight and I hope I got the point across anyway. As someone who really likes distributing single-file libraries when possible, the lazy import has given me some cool interop things without compromising my preferred distribution strategy.

There is a typo in the tip section :
" […], so they don't need to now it is a template, […]". now should be know.

Also, I am not sure this part is well constructed too :

"[…] Be careful to test actually calling these functions […]".

Conditional importing is something I love in D and occasionally find indispensable. Unfortunately, dub's "always throw every file I can possibly find at the compiler" completely breaks it :( I am working on some PRs though which hopefully will get accepted and (I hope) should make it possible for a lib to essentially say "I get built using rdmd (or whatever) not dub's internal build system" which would fix the problem (or at least make it bypassable anyway).

I think producing this news bulletin is the single best thing you guys have done recently for the D programming language.  It makes it easy for someone like myself that is still learning the language (4 years now) and is wanting to know more about what is happening but don't know where to start.  Unfortunately I don't use D in my job daily so it's nice to get a new feed with the highlights on what is happening.  Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all your hard work on this Adam and you definitely have a fan.  I am looking forward to reading next weeks post.
