March 10, 2019 2019 Roadmap / vision ? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi All, What's the roadmap or general vision that D has for 2019? I understand that there are public DIPs in the github repo, but I'm trying to figure out which major topics and use cases D is trying to address to improve its momentum/adoption in production. I feel like D can probably fill a strategic gap between Go and Rust with powerful metaprogamming capabilities and compile time execution, which would be amazing for backend/web development. However, sometimes some libraries are missing or not there yet because of lack of contribution. Are there any plans going on to attract more backers/contributors in this sense? I want to know if this is something being prioritized in the roadmap. Thanks! |

Currently I believe the vision is:
@safe
Greater fidelity specification
Woefully short as that is, I have 2 1/2 pages of points I want to get sorted at dconf, just have to wait...

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but DPP already allows you to call C libraries and C++ works for some things and is being extended.
Working on calling C# from D too.

I'm glad you guys keep working on/supporting interesting stuff like this. I have very little exposure to C# myself, but I've heard of some guys at my firm using some kind of Matlab/C# hybrid.

I haven't used DPP yet, but I'll certainly consider it for future projects. Thanks for pointing this out :)

Posted in reply to viniarck | This also a question I ask myself, where is the roadmap for D ? Right now it is mostly incoherent, a few DIPs but I have no idea where the language is heading. What features is planned for the future? Does anybody know? |

A short status report would be very cool. |
