D Bits- Setting Thread Affinity on Windows in D April 3, 2012When working with D's standard library, it is sometimes necessary to work around missing declarations in the core.sys.windows.windows module.

Complications++
Walter broke out of the discussion on C++ from D with a post that outlines just how scary it is. My new, favorite quote of the week: C++ designs just don’t fit with D. Even if you could find a … Continue reading
