Never much understood "bouncing rubble" English changes like that, or "internet"->"cloud", "preteen"->"tween", etc. Can't tell if the trend is accelerating or it's just me getting old.

Around every two years they come up with something new, give or take a year depending on the topic. In general, I got the impression that once I've finally got used to using a certain term, it's no longer (politically or otherwise) correct, e.g. "STD" => "STI" ("disease" is obviously a bad bad word - unless you want to sell useless drugs for made-up diseases). It happens all the time.

They've now renamed Syphilis, et al. after Subaru's highest-end Impreza? *shakes head*. Who wants to bet *that* little bit of PC rubble-bouncing was spearheaded by someone with a vested interest in the Viper or Corvette or something?

Fine, ok, so who wants to put together the PR to update Phobos's package name accordingly? Any takers?

I wonder will programmers be called `digitally oriented persons` one day? And `laptop` sounds too patriarchic for my liking. Let's rename it. How about `mobtop` (mobile desktop)?

Hopefully vibe.d will not die and will mature enough in the future so it actually provides a good alternative to the current web frameworks.

Hi, I know this post is old but I want you to know that I just did a tutorial on Vibe.d here:

https://github.com/reyvaleza/vibed/commit/27ec3678f25d1dd414fae1390677397a7bc57721

I would appreciate it if you can give me some feedback. Thanks!

Hi Karabuta, I know this post is old, but I just want to contact you about my tutorial on Vibe.d on Github.

https://github.com/reyvaleza/vibed/commit/27ec3678f25d1dd414fae1390677397a7bc57721

If you have time, I would appreciate it if you can give me some feedback on it.

Thanks!

PDF is not a very nice format for sharind code tutorials

I think, specially for github, a markdown (.MD) doc would be MUCH better, so you can embed code this way:

```D
void main() {
    writeln("hi");
}
```

You can also embbed screenshots and stuff
