Would you like to know more?

I also showed how you can use anonymous classes in betterC 
without any crazy hacks btw!


Lately most my blog posts have just been quick updates on what 
features are coming in my libraries, but I still write these more 
general-knowledge kind of tips from time to time. (and sometimes 
the lib entries can be generally educational too like my little 
attempt at demystifying fibers a couple months ago:

I came across anonymous classes by reading your minigui codes, 
such as [1] some time ago. I did not read anything about them 
except your sources. Good reading, thanks.

Yeah, I sometimes see them on lists of features to be cut from D 
since they aren't well known, but I'd miss them if they were 
gone. It isn't terribly important but I find them pretty 
convenient.

Better be careful, there's about 250 entries now so you could 
waste away trying to read it all! (About 145 in twid's first 
iteration and now about 115 in the second iteration. Of course 
most of them are probably pretty boring, but like skimming the 
old iteration's tip of the week index here 
http://arsdnet.net/this-week-in-d/totw-index.html might be 
educational too. I need to index out the old interviews and such 
too, my stuff is easy enough if you keep up with it but it has 
poor searchability/skim ease looking back on it.)

DWT users knew about anonymous classes as they are used a lot 
there. Of course as SWT is a Java based library, D had to had the 
features to ease the porting.

Aye, my understanding is actually they were added to do 
specifically at the request of the DWT porters.

Did you know about the constructor args though? That's what was 
new to me, I always thought you had to do a zero-arg constructor 
in the anonymous class (which works 99% of the time anyway.)
