D idioms list

[Adam D. Ruppe via Digitalmars-d-announce]

A note:

a resource compiler is still useful for things like giving a 
Windows program an icon or other such things where the operating 
system needs to find the data, since the OS doesn't know how D 
stores info.

(a fun project that I'm kinda tempted to do some day btw: make 
program that CAN fetch imported data from a D program. Maybe 
reading the executable, or maybe establishing a command line 
protocol to fetch it with the program's help. )

You can compile resources on Windows in D exactly the same way as 
in C.



Another thing too, I'm starting work on a "This week in D" thing 
and tips like these are one of the things I'd like to put in it. 
I guess I don't have anything else to say about it right now, I 
still have some more prep work to do, but if any of you have 
idioms or tricks, we should compile a list for reference and 
perhaps slightly longer articles about their use we can stick in 
the newsletter. (I'm thinking the length should only be 2-5 
paragraphs.)
