D Language

There's a #dlang Symposium happening at Yale April 11 and 12. One day of talks, one day of hacking. The speaker list is now up on the site: dlangsymposium.com

@hydrozoagames is at DConf '25 talking about how he developed The Art of Reflection in #dlang. youtube.com/live/Ou4KUBjr_…

Day 1 of DConf '25 is underway! @WalterBright is talking about his implementation of the DMD AArch64 backend. #dlang youtube.com/live/Ou4KUBjr_…

The submission window for #DConf '25 is open! We're back in London August 19-22, courtesy of @SymmetryInvest . We're looking for talks on #dlang-related or general programming topics. Find the details at dconf.org/2025/index.html.

Day 3 of #DConf '24 is kicking off soon. Join us for another day of #Dlang talks! youtube.com/live/dq7Jhp9cv…

I will speak tomorrow at #DConf #guillaumep" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dconf.org/2024/index.htm…

More progress with #AArch64 #dlang dmd code generator. The function prolog/epilog is working at a basic level now, and so is the address resolution for stack symbols and register allocation is also working: uint add(uint x, uint y) { return x + y; } becomes: 0000: D1 00 43 FF sub sp,sp,#0x10 0004: B9 00 0B E0 str w0,[sp,#8] 0008: 2A 01 03 E2 mov w2,w1 000c: B9 40 0B E3 ldr w3,[sp,#8] 0010: 0B 23 40 40 add w0,w2,w3,uxtw 0014: 91 00 43 FF add sp,sp,#0x10 0018: D6 5F 03 C0 ret 0000: allocate space for locals 0004: save register parameter x as local 0008: save register parameter y as w2 000c: load local x into w3 0010: w0 = w2 + w3 0014: deallocate space for locals 0018: return from function I know this looks treeevial, but an awful lot has to work to get this far. #compilers #programming #programminglanguages

I suppose I can talk about the side project I'm working on -- porting @raysan5 's great raylib library to D. The end result will be D-ified API. But some interesting features of #dlang being used here, including the ability to import C code. schveiguy.com/draylib

Thanks to @SymmetryInvest, the Symmetry Autumn of Code 2024 (#SAOC) is kicking off in September. We are now accepting applications. Get paid to contribute to the #dlang ecosystem! saoc.io

Early-bird registration for #DConf '24 was supposed to end on June 18th, but thanks to support from @weka, we're able to lock in the early-bird registration rate all the way to the start of the conference. Thanks WEKA! dconf.org/2024/index.html

Working last night and today on implementing the function all ABI for the #AArch64 dmd #dlang code generator.

Building #DLang Apps on Apache #NuttX RTOS ... Piece of cake 👍 Source: gist.github.com/lupyuen/e6fe34…

#DLang Apps officially supported on Apache #NuttX RTOS 🎉 Source: github.com/apache/nuttx-a…

VALIDATED! We hope to have #dlang, dkos, and examples fully integrated with KallistiOS for the Sega #Dreamcast, along with precompiled GDC toolchain binaries for DreamSDK on Windows! Thanks for bringing us this magnificent language and for personally turning me on to it!

Today's #dlang dmd #Aarch64 accomplishment: long foo(long x, long y) { return 5; } becomes: _D4test3fooFllZl: 0000: D2 80 00 A0 mov x0,#5 0004: D6 5F 03 C0 ret I feel like Herr Doktor Frankenstein applying the lightning! (I know it looks trivial, but there's an awful lot of code in a compiler to get to that point. Note that the compiler has a builtin disassembler I wrote that dumps the generated binary, rather than trying to assemble text.) Many thanks to godbolt.org to show me what needs to happen. #compilers #programminglanguages #programming
