digitalmars.D - Seeking research papers on D

Hello

I was looking for research publications on D (either design of D 
or its application) on Google scholar, but since searching D is 
difficult, I could not find much.

I would be grateful if you could point me to a collection etc. of 
papers on D. It will be very helpful in my research.
Thanks

I have read several online articles about D and Phobos, plus I 
remember D and Phobos cited few times in Stroustrup papers and 
Alexander Stepanov seminars, but I don't remember any research 
papers about D/Phobos.

What kind of texts are you looking for?

Bye,
bearophile

There are the Xomb pappers, but they focus more on the operating system, 
not the language:

Generally D is poorly represented in the research literature.

 I can confirm that in my current research activities I am using D almost
 exclusively for simulations, and barring objections from colleagues (which
don't
 seem likely:-) the language will be cited in the resulting papers.



I was mostly referring to the programming languages research literature. 
There are, indeed, a growing number of students using D as an 
implementation language for research projects.

Were you at CERN by any chance?

I worked on the Atlas HLT project between 2003-2004.

For example, for Go language, I found, "GoHotDraw: Evaluating the 
Go programming language with design patterns", where they have 
evaluated use of Go for that project. Similarly, one can find for 
GPUs etc.

Similarly, I was looking for research papers discussing 
applications on D or comparing D's use for scientific 
applications with other languages.

I searched: 
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22d+%22+programming+language&btnG=&
l=en&as_sdt=1%2C16, 
and also with dlang (which it changes to slang!), but could not 
find anything.

I would be grateful for your help.

Maybe there are no research papers on D. I hope to be shown wrong.

Hey, that guy was my lecturer! He turned me onto D in the
first place. Neat. :D

Nice note: last week by chance I ran into a friend and former colleague from
Switzerland, who I hadn't seen or been in touch with for years -- and one of the
first things he said to me was, "I found you on the D programming forums, I've
just started getting curious about using this language and I saw that you are
really involved!"

So, use and awareness of this language in the research community seems like it's
growing.  My current colleagues are C/C++/Python focused in general (and
sometimes, FORTRAN) but they have certainly examined my D code with some
curiosity.

Nothing so posh, I'm afraid. :-)  I was at Fribourg University in the
interdisciplinary physics group, working on neural networks, econophysics and
(latterly) reputation/recommender systems.

These days I'm at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy.
