Idea Discussion

Difference (last change) (no other diffs, normal page display)

Changed: 2c2

Topics are not necessarily problems with the D language or libraries, just things that have come up on the newgroup and generated a good deal of traffic. In fact it's probably better if discussions about features or requested changes go on the FeatureRequestList or a subpage thereof (See heading below).

Topics

Topics are not necessarily problems with the D language or libraries, just things that have come up on the newgroup and generated a good deal of traffic.

 (let's try to sort by hottest topic first, coldest topic last)

Private Issues. Private means visible but not accessible. Is that good?
Open Source Licenses. This page has some information about open source licenses.
Really Free Compiler. Is there any free compiler for the D language?
Grammar Posts. A collection of topics about the D grammar.
Kernel with D. Summary of attempts to write an Operating System kernel with D.
Pending Peeves - things that need to get fixed before 1.0.

Standard Library

These pages are for the discussion of issues with development and specification of standard libraries for D.

Detailed Proposals

NOTE:

Please address your detailed proposal using a D Improvement Proposal (DIP). If you would like, you could also take the time to copy one of these proposals into a new DIP.

These are proposals for major changes to D that require serious consideration. As a result, these proposals should be more detailed than mere feature requests, including clear description of the issues and the problems it will solve, discussion of pros and cons, implementation suggestions, alternatives, and probable impact on D users and library maintainers.
