The D Language Playground site

By Vasudev Ram


The D language playground site:

is a web site (created somewhat recently, IIRC), where you can write or paste in a chunk of D code into a text box, click Run, and it will run it on their server, and send back the results to be displayed. It also has a tour of the language, and you can go from one example to another, and just run, or modify and run, each of them. So the same site serves both as an online sandbox to experiment with D language snippets, and as an interactive tutorial for D. In both these ways it is similar to the Go language playground/tour site. Either or both are worth checking out, if you are interested in those languages.

Video: C++, Rust, D and Go: Panel at LangNext '14

By Vasudev Ram

I recently came across this video of a panel discussion (in 2014) on modern systems programming languages. Yes, I know the term is controversial. Andrei and Rob say something about it. See the video.

The languages discussed are: C++, D, Go and Rust, by a panel at LangNext '14.

The panel consisted of key team members from the teams working on those languages:

- Bjarne Stroustrup for C++
- Andrei Alexandrescu for D
- Rob Pike for Go
- Niko Matsakis for Rust

(that's by language name in alphabetical order :)

Here is the video embedded below, and a link to it in case the embed does not work for you (sometimes happens).



I have only watched part of it so far (it is somewhat long), but found it interesting.

You can also download it with youtube-dl (written in Python, BTW) or some other video downloading tool, for watching offline. It's about 1.34 GB in size, so plan accordingly.

- Enjoy.
