Please just email it to me. I don't think it's useful to post such gigantic files. Also, being a text forum, posting zip files is not terribly useful, either.

How soon will this happen?

What kind of D style programming will DDMD enable not possible in C++?

Will it for example make use of array slicing?

Could this forum has basic HTML support? code highlight or even some text formatting in text itself could be very useful, either.

Not worth the complexity, bandwidth, security issues, not all newsreaders support that, etc.

... to bugzilla.

Please don't. I don't use a HTML mail reader, and I never will. All the information that is relevant to D coding is adequately conveyed by plain text. HTML only adds unnecessary frills that contributes no substance while adding bloat.

Hopefully in the next few months.

None, initially.  It currently produces D code almost identical to the C++ code.  Once development has switched over, we can go through and start refactoring it to use foreach, ranges, delegates, etc

Most likely.

Not everyone uses the web interface. Some people are using the mailing list interface, others using newsreaders, and not everyone is using a client that supports HTML.

We can possibly support code highlighting same as vibe.d newsgroup web interface does: just render
```
code here
```
blocks as code snippets (example: http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.vibed/thread/15414/) while still showing them as normal text in mails / NG clients. Feels natural to any GitHub user.

This is the only bit of formatting I'd be interested in.
