What are you planning for 2016?

[Adam D. Ruppe via Digitalmars-d]

I know I'll be doing a few web programs in D (already have the 
contracts so it is increasing in priority even now). I'll 
probably be expanding my css tools for my other job too.

For non-work stuff, it all depends on how much time I have, but 
the basic list is:

1) the doc thing I've been talking about endlessly

2) improve D error messages. dmd "no template matches" and 
druntime "RangeError" are both sucky because they don't tell the 
user important facts the computer knows.

3) write a cocoa implementation for simpledisplay

4) get minigui up to 1.0

5) finish at least one of my games

I'll still be using Ruby, Python, Java, and of course, Javascript 
for other work things too.

My D program for work has a major component in Java which I just 
wrote last month because I wanted to use a major Java library and 
it was easier to just write it right there than mess with JNI or 
whatever.

If D had the same Java interface out of the box, or the same 
cutting-edge library I might have use it there too, but meh, idk. 
It is just a simple server that spits out XML - something Java is 
very good at.
