News and Opinions of the Digital Mars D Programming Language
Hot on the heels of 0.10, Gregor has released version 0.11 of his D Shared Software System. This version fixes a minor bug which was only disclosed in top secret emails. It also adds two new command line parameters for the ‘dsss net’ command. Gregor encourages you to email him if you have any trouble using DSSS. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to learn what his email address is.

Bernd posted on the NG about a blog post by tinymail maintainer Philip Van Hoof that announced some interesting news from Michael Dominick. Michael has D up and running on the Nokia 770, with a picture on flickr to show it off. Philip also appears to be a fan of D, saying it “would be the [language] that I would use myself for writing applications.”
As D gets picked up by more people with time on their hands, it’s going to be interesting to see where it turns up. I only care about Windows and Mac myself, but it’s still fun to see it ported to other platforms. I wonder if I’ll one day be creating Derelict bindings for the Khronos Group’s OpenKODE API collection.

Anders has posted his RPM packages for gdcgnu at his sourceforge page. He says he plans to post DEBs later. If you are on a Debian-based system now and prefer not to use the RPMs, he suggests the following command line for the Alien tool:
fakeroot alien –keep-version –scripts gdc-0.20-1.i386.rpm

Kirk McDonald’s Python wrapper for D, Pyd, can now be used on Linux via GDC 0.20. Penguins rejoice. There are a couple of caveats, such as the unavailability of StackThreads, but we can hope they’ll be sorted in the near future.
