Walter Bright Ports D To the Mac

jonniee writes “D is a programming language created by Walter Bright of C++ fame. D’s focus is on combining the power and high performance of C/C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. And now he’s ported it to the Macintosh. Quoting: ‘[Building a runtime library] exposed a lot of conditional compilation issues that had no case for OSX. I found that Linux has a bunch of API functions that are missing in OSX, like getline and getdelim, so some of the library functionality had to revert to more generic code for OSX. I had to be careful, because although many system macros had the same functionality and spelling, they had different expansions. Getting these wrong would cause some mysterious behavior, indeed.'”
