digitalmars.D.announce - ae v0.0.3000
- Vladimir Panteleev (41/41) Apr 10 2021 *ae* (***a**lmost **e**verything*) is an auxiliary
*ae* (***a**lmost **e**verything*) is an auxiliary general-purpose D library. It is used by forum.dlang.org, Digger, the D documentation auto-tester, and most of my D projects in general. Among many things, it implements an asynchronous event loop, several network protocols, and various utility code to complement the D standard library (Phobos). https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae The library's Git repository reached a nice round number of commits the other day, which might as well be an occasion to make this announcement, in case someone finds something useful for their D adventures here. Please see [the README document](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae#overview) for an overview of what can be found in the library. Notable additions within the last 1000 commits: - All public declarations have been documented (with help from [a DMDFE-based linter](https://github.com/CyberShadow/dlint)). You can browse the documentation on [ae.dpldocs.info](https://ae.dpldocs.info/ae.html). - [`ae.net.http`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/tree/master/net/http) can now be used to accept HTTP requests and send replies not just over plain HTTP(S)-over-TCP, but also using CGI, FastCGI or SCGI over a variety of transports. - [`ae.net.http.app`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/ne /http/app/server.d) provides a central point which allows your users to configure and integrate your web app with practically any environment. [Example of a configuration file doing so](https://github.com/CyberShadow/cirun/blob/86d54e4724bcdf4395c01cb488c1d059ae482d01/src/cirun.conf.sample#L36-L114). - [`ae.net.ssl.openssl`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/maste /net/ssl/openssl.d) now passes most badssl.com tests. - [`ae.sys.file.listDir`](https://ae.dpldocs.info/~next/ae.sys.file.listDir.html) is a fast and flexible directory iterator. It sacrifices providing results as a range to instead gain allowing to decide on-the-spot when to recurse. The speed gains come from avoiding `stat` calls by taking advantage of the `dirent.d_type` field, and allowing applications to avoid GC allocations when querying directory entry names. - [`ae.utils.mapset`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/ma ter/utils/mapset.d) is a data structure which allows holding and performing operations on very large sets of maps. Applications include fully exploring program states for all possible inputs, e.g. for fuzzing. - [`ae.utils.promise`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/mas er/utils/promise.d) is an implementation of JavaScript-like promises, and attempts to follow the Promises/A+ specification as closely as possible. [Discussed here](https://forum.dlang.org/post/pzbyxaxssokctpgprikz forum.dlang.org). - [`ae.utils.meta.tuplerange`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/util /meta/tuplerange.d) contains constructs for iterating and chaining together operations on range-like constructs which operate on heterogeneous types. The standard D range interface does not provide this, so an internal iteration API is used instead. You may recall me mentioning `ae.utils.meta.chain` during a DConf talk - `meta.tuplerange` is `meta.chain`'s successor. - [`ae.utils.math.longmul`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/u ils/math/longmul.d) wraps x86 long (up to 128-bit) multiplication and division in D. [Also seen is DustMite](https://dlang.org/blog/2020/04/13/dustmite-the-general-purpose-data-reduction-tool/). - [`ae.utils.graphics.libpng`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/util /graphics/libpng.d) bridges libpng and `ae.utils.graphics.image`, allowing decoding arbitrary PNGs into the user-defined `Image` type. Because the `Image` color type is set at compile-time, the module configures `libpng` to decode the PNG into the `Image`'s color type. The exhaustingly thorough test suite even identified [some bugs in libpng itself](https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/pull/270). - [`ae.utils.sound`](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/tree/master/utils/sound) is a package to generate, load, and save simple audio samples. Waveforms can be generated as D ranges (using e.g. `std.algorithm`) and then mixed / played / saved. The included space shooter demo game [pewpew](https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/demo/pewpew/) uses this package to generate and play procedural sound effects. Thanks for reading!

Dennis <dkorpel gmail.com> Whoa, this commit: https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/commit/3979fc046a556b55825792d959f3e3a95ff4fd15 "Document Almost Everything" - that's dedication!

I got 580 points. I started out methodically aiming diagonal shots but then found it's pretty effective to spam space bar while moving left-to right, and then my points started racking up :)

Are there any other D libraries (other than Phobos) with support for recursive directory listing?
