Awesome news! I think we need to take the hiccup as a warning to be more mindful of compilers and library bugs reported on behalf of QtD.

Believe it or not, I just placed order for Andrei's book and UK Amazon and went to check my email before going to sleep...

Now seeing your message...Whoah!!!

You made my day, or let's say, my night. Dream, sweet dream... :-)

Please, post on the web site how can the project be helped, not only by the D experts, but by everyone else as well.


Sincerely,
Gour

I'm drinking one on this, cheers!

This is indeed good news. I don't do enough with GUIs, but having GUI library(s) will be a big requirement in D succeeding Good Luck.

Is anyone using QtD also on the beta mailing list? Don has taking on a point that we should not have known regressions newer than something like dmd 2.37 (until all known regressions have been eliminated) And this will be good for all projects.

And Gour, I suppose you get some thanks for giving QtD the pat on the back they missed. Good luck.

Stay tuned.

Thanks! I'm not using QtD in my current project but it is 100% sure that I'll want to use it in the future. 

I would love to help but I need a lot more practice with the language (and time).

Yay! Good luck, and hope Walter and co will give your bug reports some
higher priority. I think that is the right thing to do now.

This is great news!

Qt ia not only GUI - it also have network, database and data structures classes. Which makes me wonder (@to the Qt guys): do you plan, once the data structures bindings are done, to add the ranges interfaces to them?

Thanks! I find it reasonable to lower our expectations of the language/tools for a while. I've decided to go on without const and other goodies like the scarcely implemented "alias this".

For now, the most important for me are the issues with struct lifetime management. For example, destructors should be called on global struct instances. And this one is critical:

It would be great if we soon had a complete and debugged implementation of the struct semantics described in TDPL.
