A very enjoyable read (all 4 parts), thanks for a great interview! One thing I'd like to add is that there is a DDL (D Dynamic Linking) project and its derivatives (e.g. xf.Linker: http://h3.gd/devlog/?p=12) that allow dynamic loading of *.obj files, retrieving classes/variables/functions, creating class instances etc. Keep in mind that it was written for D1, and it wasn't updated for a while, though.

Is this part true? "All projects I mentioned [LDC, GDC] use the open-sourced reference front end to implement both D1 and D2, and trail behind the reference compiler by a few minor releases." My impression from following the newsgroup was that no alternative compiler was even close to compiling D2. The LDC D2 status page says: "D2 support is a stub and very experimental. Anyone interested to improve it (or LDC in general) is highly welcome." The last News item on the GDC page is from 2007.

He was referring to D1 support being closely behind dmd. LDC2 is pretty much dead at the moment. GDC2 is currently breaking the 2.020 wall: http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/

From a breif browse through that Thrift page you linked to, I take it Thrift is basically Facebook's version of Google's Protocol Buffers ( http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ ) ?

Yes. Getting Thrift and Protocol Buffers bindings for D is quite important at this time. Andrei

According to http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns , it looks like something already exists for D and protobuf: https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/index.php/ProtocolBuffer -- Best regards, Vladimir mailto:vladimir thecybershadow.net

Dynamic libraries have been possible on Mac OS X now for several months using Tango and I'm just waiting for the same patch to be applied to druntime. http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4080 the DMD part is already done. Please don't forget Mac OS X all the time. -- /Jacob Carlborg
