digitalmars.D - Suggestions to improve D language

Suggestion for the creator of D language to form two things:
1- An open source project on sourceforge for example, not on Apache because it
adopts JAVA as its intrinsic language for all projects and C++ but we may
investigate that. This project will be as a place holder for all projects
proposed by D language community, like the ones we proposed above.
2- To construct a process that defines how these projects are proposed and
implemented by D community, u know, some thing like JCP I told u about for JAVA
community.

You must understand that Walter is a very busy person. And we'd be most

Mwaahhahahahhhh! Looks like:
"so, u b m8 sl8vz & u 1mpl8m8 wat 1 (or teh c0m1t8) s8!"

Just read again what you wrote. :> We are not many. People just post 
their ideas here, and thus find other people who might participate. One 
can also post a project at DSource and wait for help. The community is 
held together by discussion and collaboration, and not by someone 
defining what everyone should do.


 u know



No, u doesn't. And you are the first person to my awareness to seriously 
try this sort of grammar here. As a special exception, i allow myself to 
write myself small, just because it doesn't offend anyone else, and so 
that my importance doesn't get overemphasized.

Welcome anyway. If you have any difficulties, don't hesitate to read the 
manual or the Wiki (http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FrontPage), 
but if this doesn't help just ask here.

Expect this to be more common as texting proliferates.  (I had no 
trouble with his[MNour's] abbreviation, but I couldn't read your 
parody.  Still, expect texting slang to proliferate into places 
where it didn't previously exist.  It's more reasonable than "l33t 
speak" (or however they spell it).  When you only use your thumb to 
type with and use a slow modem (possibly paying by the character 
transmitted), abbreviations make a lot more sense than they would 
otherwise, and become habitual.

l33t (or leet) --> Elite

m8 (in this context) --> my (as pronounced with a southern U.S. accent, I
believe).

"so, u b m8 sl8vz & u 1mpl8m8 wat 1 (or teh c0m1t8) s8!" 

I think says ...

"So, you are my slave and you implement what I (or the committee) say!"

I have a 17-yo son who does this childish writing all the time. I can't
wait until he grows up and wants to communicate to a wider audience.
