Hi, folks!

I haven't been very active in the community as of late, but that will hopefully change now, because I have finally completed my PhD.  (Yay, I'm a Dr. now!).  I have some weeks of sorely-needed vacation in front of me and I intend to use some of that time for D development.

Among other things, my proposal for a new std.path is ready for review, and I'd like to get that underway.  Rather than wade through the hundreds of new messages that have been posted to the NG the past few weeks, I thought I'd ask here instead:

Is anything being reviewed right now, or is anything about to be?  If not, may I put std.path up for review?

-Lars

Congrats, Dr. Kyllingstad!


I think jdrewson's curl wrapper was getting going on being reviewed, but I haven't seen an official announcement.? Jonathan?

-Steve

*Dr.* Kyllingstad,

AFAIK nothing's in the review queue.  As far as potential future stuff, std.parallel_algorithm will be ready somewhat soon because I decided to scale back the ambitions for it to only algorithms that can be parallelized without being massively work inefficient.  For a lot of the algorithms in the GNU parallel algorithm library, the only parallel algorithms I was able to find in the literature are so work inefficient that I can't imagine them ever being faster than the serial algorithm in practice.

In other words, if std.path is ready let's do it now instead of waiting until parallel_algorithm is also ready.

Nothing is actually being reviewed right now. Robert Jacques was going to put up some changes he had for std.variant for review so that he could he could then have his changes for std.json reviewed, but he hasn't posted anything on that since.

jdrewson said that the curl wrapper was ready for review and was looking to have it reviewed, but when I offered to be the review manager for it and proposed a review schedule for it, he never responded. So, I don't know what happened to him.

Personally, I'd _very_ much like to see std.path reviewed since it's the redesign of a current module, and I think that the changes like that which are going to result in current parts of Phobos having to be deprecated should have higher priority than newer stuff so that we can move Phobos towards being stable.

But regardless, with Robert Jacques and jdrewson being MIA, we're obviously not reviewing their stuff just yet. So, if Lars has std.path ready for review, I think that we should review it.

Did the std.process changes ever get finished, reviewed, and submitted?

Sorry for the lack of response. std.variant needed a little more polish than I thought it did and work has bogged me down a bit. So if someone's ready, please go ahead.

The std.process windows changes need a dmc runtime update I submitted to Walter. No sense in reviewing it until those changes are in.

Great!  Does anyone want to volunteer as review manager and announce the review?  Code and docs can be found here:

I'll take care of it.  I'm a little busy right this second, but I'll definitely get to it sometime today.
