I did.  I have a few 'simple' C++ like classes like "vector" (C++-like) DEVector
(double ended version - empty space and elements can be on either end), and
priority queue (simple heap version).

Would these be interesting as a part of the library?  If so, do I start a dsource project, email them somewhere, etc?  Is there a general rule for this? I'm sure I'm not the only one to write up these sorts of things.

I would recommend starting a dsource project. Get Brad to create a project space for you etc... I did this for Build and its been pretty easy to use, including the SVN stuff.

Okay - I'll take a few days to flesh out/clean up what I have now and create a project in a few days.  Goal: 'mostly drop-in' replacements for porting of C++ code, plus maybe a few D-ish versions of the same functionality.

He must be a fan of D, then : ) Your army is growing.

Of course, it is kind of funny seeing a huge leauge of unregistered posters suddenly saying good things about D.

I/we have been accused of being paid to promote it, lol. Since then I have tried to concentrate on both strengths/weaknesses.

I mentioned it to my CS professor, Timothy Budd, and he said he'd take a look at it, since he likes to learn a new language every year :)

Out of curiousity, has anyone heard of him before? I was just wondering because although he's a professor here at Oregon State, he has also written a whole bunch of programming books.

Smalltalk work etc.

Seems he's a prolific author, but none of the books have made it to the top 10 on Amazon.

Name sounds familiar .... computer algorithms? Seems like I looked at one of his books when I was trying to figure out "skip lists" or "red-black trees" or something like that.
