Please list what we've achieved during the hackathon, including what is started but is likely to be finished in the coming days or months.

For me:

- Finished updating "Programming in D" to 2.074.0 (the HTML is now up to date but I could not get to the still manual work of preparing the ebooks)

- Contributed to the logo and branding discussions

- Opened two bugs

- Ate German cookies :)

Nice!

For me:

- Don't want to exactly steal Jonathan's thunder, but during the conference (before the hackathon actually) he split (and I helped get approval for splitting) std.datetime into a package. That still needs some severe TLC on making the docs read better, but it should be viable. And now github can show diffs for the smaller files :)

- Merged a simple PR I had from April.

- Provided a bit of guidance to people on druntime internals.

- Created my first DMD PR (to make it so unittest imports are not counted for cycle detection).

And that's about it. That last one took a lot of effort, as I was dealing with an apparent bug in the BitArray type, thought I was losing my mind :)

Aaaand, I'm not questioning whether the PR I made is sound, due to the way template-instantiated static ctors work. I'll have to rethink how it works.

But it was very awesome to be able to go around and find the people to discuss a PR/idea without going through a forum thread. I think there's a psychological barrier that happens when you post a complete argument, and then your counterpart forms an interpretation in their mind of what the argument means, forms their complete counter argument, and neither side really understands what the other is saying or willing to do. Doing it in person allows so much more interaction -- you can cut off early any misinterpretations. It's also harder to be nasty in person :)

I've fixed the FreeBSD-Current exception handling issue, so
that exception handling is now working there as well (I also suspect
that it was broken pretty much on all libundwind 64bit systems, just worked by accident, since the optimizer didn't try too hard.

It's something I wanted to do for a long time, but there's never time,
so having a day dedicated to it was pretty helpful!

It was pretty cool finding Jonathan who filed the bug in the same room, then
chasing Walter to talk about it, after hearing all war stories, including,
but not limited to, blue meteors.

Oh, also working with Martin and chasing him around the rooms to get
my druntime PR for fiber stack overflow protection (https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1698)
merged after months and months is also worth mentioning, although it didn't happen during the hackaton :-)

Is there some news about compiling dmd as library?

I submitted a PR for Phobos and 2 for dmd, the latter of which were my first. I felt like a wizard afterwards for modifying the compiler, which is a nice bonus. Now if only I could get the autotester to be green...

Nice, I usually feel confused after modifying the compiler.

Just think about how much more wizardly you will feel after it is green.

It turns out I'd stupidly pushed branched off of my other branch instead of master. It's green. :)

Atila, official wizard

There was a talk about this, one of the interns is working on it:

http://dconf.org/2017/talks/nitu.html

No idea when it'll be done.
