When trying to run the front page code samples, it regularly bugs out.
This is the first time I've tried in ages, but of the first 4 samples I tried, none worked.

The example with:
   // D is like...
crashes with:
   unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory


The example with:
   // RPN calculator
simply outputs:
    -- No output --

The example with:
   // Get your local weather report
crashes with:
   Compilation output (9: Killed)

The example with:
   // Computes average line length for standard input.
wait, it works?! Output:
   Average line length: 82
Yay, success!

Anyway, I said I'd put this here in case this isn't a known issue.

Personally I'd rather no ability to run code live than the current situation, it just looks quite bad - especially now as theres quite a bit of interest in D being generated around.

Thanks for reporting it. It is a known issue that has to do with the version of D used with the plugin that displays the code.

If you want to report other issues consider searching the forum to check that it hasn't already been addressed and (even better) use the bug tracker at http://issues.dlang.org/ . This way problems have more chances of getting fixed.

Yeah, I should have checked the bug tracker.
Bug report here:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12210

Still - I hope having this here on the forum might raise awareness.
Sadly, I don't know the internals of dlang.org, nor do I have the time to get to know it, to help fix this.
