digitalmars.D.announce - Reorganization and list of D libraries (300+)

reply Fra Mecca <me francescomecca.eu> writes:
Hi all.

Lurking in this forum I had the feeling that lots of D developers 
tend to rewrite lots of code that could be found in libraries. 
This is not bad per se but I thought that one of the reason could 
have been the current process of library discovery.

For this reason I have edited a list of libraries that could aid 
in this process.

I also considered that the following features could be of 
importance to you:
- License
- Garbage collector
- last modification (automated)

The list is of course not complete and I could not test all of 
the libraries I included.

I welcome you to modify it, open PRs or issues on github.

https://github.com/FraMecca/D_Libraries_Registry

I hope it could lead to a better ecosystem for the whole D 
community.

I'd like to see code.dlang.org to have a new column that 
explicitely shows the licence being used, and the capacity to 
search/filter by licence type would be great too.

Even being the wrong Martin :-) I think the DUB registry really 
needs more and better filters, so that the gems inside can be 
found easily. (like: Number of Github stars, number of downloads, 
number of developers and in the future: money donated to this 
project ...).

There has been several attempts but I would like to encourage the 
D Foundation to put more focus on this. Better ecosystem around 
third party software means less work for improvement of standard 
lib.

So true. I've written code before only to learn later that there 
was already a library for what I was doing that I just happened 
to stumble upon. Which would have saved me a lot of time.

As far as I understand, the D Language Foundation itself can work 
on specific
projects by the help of scholarship recipients paid by donations.

For me I see 3 ways to get enhancement / issues solved:
- Work on my spare time on the issue
- Motivate others to work in their spare time on the issue :)
- Donate to the D Language Foundation

Dub / Dub repository are already great products but in my opinion 
there
is still a lot of work to do.

Kind regards

That actually already landed in September.
https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/pull/224
Try http://code.dlang.org/?showrating

What's left now that search results are sorted by relevance, is 
more indexing so that we really find most packages for a search 
term.

The rating barely works; once i leave the front page from the 
link you give here i have to manually add

"&showrating" to each url, e.g

click page 10: 
http://code.dlang.org/?sort=updated&category=&skip=180&limit=20
then gotta to change it by hand to: 
http://code.dlang.org/?sort=updated&category=&skip=180&limit=20&showrating

The query parameter is a hidden dev preview, meant to wait a 
little until we know that the ratings are adequate. It's actually 
about time to move forward with this feature.

DWT is using the EPL, Eclipse Public License, license.
I'm missing the ddb [1] and mysql-native [2] database libraries.
There are many list like this for other languages, they're usually 
called "awesome-<lang>" where <lang> is the language.

I checked awesome-D but it is not focused only on libraries and 
it is not updated at all.
Also, I wanted to highlight the license and the use of  nogc

I added mysql-native, while I ignored ddb because the project 
provides no description and no documentation. Maybe a README 
would be enought to get you through the examples.
Also, updated DWT

Please send a PR if you feel like the project could be improved

Nice, thanks! I don't like having to hunt for, and sometimes not 
find, the license of a library to see if it is permissive or not. 
GC is nice too.

Hi Fra,

   This is a very good idea, and I fully support on this idea of 
collocating all the D libraries in one location, more over we 
need to consider whether the good work of the developer can be 
added to Phobos, as Phobos is the official library of D language.

From,
