Meta
This document discusses the high-level vision for D with semestrial granularity. It is released in January and July.
Note: This document focuses on goals the D leadership will personally enable or make happen, or strongly believes are important for the success of the D language. Other contributions are always welcome and do not need to be necessarily aligned with this document.
H2 2016 Review
- The D Language Foundation
- Since 2016 we are a 501(c) public charity organization.
- Since November the Foundation has granted 4 scholarships to MSc students at University "Politehnica" Bucharest.
- The Foundation has a positive balance sheet from DConf 2016 and a number of speaking and training engagements. We have two years of autonomy with the current balance and expense structure.
- Organization
- Martin Nowak has improved the release model and integration of fixes.
- Raising participation
- Sebastian Wilzbach, Martin Nowak, and Vladimir Panteleev have improved automation in the process of creating, reviewing, and integrating contributions.
- Contributions on github have been flat (slight decline) compared to the same period of last year, as shown in this table:
| Year | Pull Requests Created |
|---|---|
| 2011 | 1134 |
| 2012 | 1846 |
| 2013 | 2891 |
| 2014 | 2954 |
| 2015 | 3246 |
| 2016 | 3074 |
- Scholarship recipients started contributing to the codebase
- Safety and Memory Management
- We are on track for pulling DIP1000 by the end of the year
- PR4878 is the first safe reference counted buffer of bytes. It is not general enough because it does not offer reference to its elements.
- Walter Bright has fixed many bugs that allow unsafe behavior in @safe code.
