[02:53:58] <chromas> D
[02:54:44] <Fnord666> Never tried it.

[02:56:43] <chromas> Then when it's done, it shows it with title caps
[02:56:44] <Fnord666> Probably from the last time we chatted
[02:57:09] <chromas> It has some neat things like compile-time regexes and stuff

[02:59:08] <chromas> There's a gcc version, an llvm one and the official digital mars one. I'm using the digital mars one (dmd) because the gcc version has less informative error messages
[02:59:20] <chromas> But you can use whichever. You on linux?
