Walter has announced DMD 1.010. More enhancements than usual, fewer bug fixes than usual. Here’s one that really looks interesting from my point of view:
Added Object.factory(char[] classname) method to create
class objects based on a string.
I use dynamic instantiation quite often in Java, particularly for plugin functionality. I don’t miss it when using C because I wear my C hat then. When I use D I keep wanting to put my Java hat on, which ends up being like buying hamburgers at Taco Bell. I have yet to test it, but if it’s possible to instantiate classes from shared libraries then I’ll do back flips. If not, then it doesn’t solve the problem completely.
Either way, I’m still happy to see the new stuff!

Howard Berkey has opened up a site aimed at helping newcomers to D:
I have put up a web site where I have started collecting information I wish I had found in one place when I started learning D
If you are currently in the phase of wrapping your head around D, you most likely should have D-Riven in your bookmarks.

A couple of NG announcements from the past couple of days:
* Gregor has released DSSS 0.56 along with Rebuild 0.14.
* Jascha has released Ddbg 0.0.5.
I’m quite busy for at least the next week, so my apologies in advance if posting is too slow here or I miss any announcements from the NG or elsewhere.
