I think I just had a geekgasm. Thanks Kajetan, that makes my day!

Is that a code-into-code call right there?

*** LOOP code
with data = $$ // Yo dawg...
                      mixin(Loope!q{
                          for i from 0.0 to max by 1.337
                            collect i
                      }); $$
***

That's mightily cool!
Another solution could be to add a special syntax ($! ... !$ or
whatever) to insert code into code:

***
with date = $! for i from 0.0 to max by 1.337
                         collect i
                 !$
***

Geez, I should be hacking on Pegged right now.

Yah, same here (in abstract that is). Do you know the author?

Yes please. I've shown a Pegged example at OSCON (see my slides towards the end) and there were quite a few "bouche bée"s.

That would be me.

I'm very pleased both of you liked it, I didn't expect my lousy loop to get that much attention. :)

Awesome. Oh, so you're the roman numerals guy from a while ago (http://idorobots.org/2012/03/04/romans-rubies-and-the-d/) which used to crash the compiler but not anymore. Cool!

Are you interested in furthering your involvement with D (e.g. the standard library)? If you lurk in here, you sure know we're on the lookout for creative, ingenious contributors.


Cheers,

If anything I do is deemed useful I sure wouldn't mind adding it to the standard library, however, my general "hacking about" tends to be rather far from useful ;)

I'm probably going to expand on the idea behind the Loop template and create a set of functions for use with D code generation (so DSLs mainly) as it seems to be a little tedious at the moment.

By the way, I've managed to crash the compiler once or twice with the Loop template on my way here ;)
I have yet to find a minimal test case for that, tho.
