Maybe someone offical-y should take a survey of people who hate dub? | |||

I still remember the first time you told me to "just use -i", i first didn't understand I gave it an other try when months later i was annoyed with "platform dependent modules", and you again told me to "just use -i", and yeah it's as simple as just using The thing that confused me was https://dlang.org/dmd-linux.html#switch-i[ But yeah, i now "just use -i" and it greatly simplified all my build scripts and modules, what's not imported is simply just not compiled It should be the default behavior imo | |||

Practically its probably going to be built from a higher directory than src/ so -I may have to be present. | |||

That means alot coming from you Adam, Thanks! I went back and looked at the forum discussion where I initially proposed this feature, then the following PR to implement it: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7099 That PR has around 400 comments, some deleted as there were some high emotions in there :) It's interesting to go back and see what you did 6 years ago. I'm glad to say I've learned a little more "tact" since then. | |||

I'm glad to say I've learned a little more "tact" since then. I remember it as it happened, it is a pity how things ended up between you and D, an unforced error from them. | |||
