Meta
This document discusses the high-level vision for D. It is revised every six months (January and July).
Note: This document focuses on goals the D leadership will personally enable or make happen. Other contributions that don't require their help are always welcome.
H2 2016 Priorities
- Improve or replace the GC with a more efficient one
- Eliminate Phobos dependency on GC (in other words, make GC opt out a viable and simple option).
- Flesh out and solidify std.experimental.allocator
- Improve compiler support so ref counting can be done @safely.
- Improve C++ inter-operability: struct mangling, Windows exceptions
- Fix problems with excessively long mangled names
- Improve internal memory management of compiler
- Continue improving DMD front end internals
- Low-hanging GC allocator optimization (thread cache, better data structures)
- Fast CTFE interpretation (rather simple mem leakage fix now, new architecture later)
- Usable/useful escape reference analysis (finished DIP25, scope methods to avoid escaping of this, in = const scope, D variadic arguments) to enable more efficient resource management (see example)
- More stable release model, better integration of fixes, maintaining LTS releases for professional users
- Better management of language and phobos development, consensus on strategies, basic project management for bigger features, better administration of DIPs and module review queue
