Announcements about the D Programming Language

[Abul @Abultwitt]

Completed GSoC'26 with @D_Programming .
I built a performance regression bot for the D compiler (DMD). It benchmarks every pull request.

Thanks to my mentor Dennis Korpel for the guidance.

I'll keep contributing to The D Language Foundation and it's ecosystem.

More progress with #AArch64 #dlang dmd code generator. The function prolog/epilog is working at a basic level now, and so is the address resolution for stack symbols and register allocation is also working:

uint add(uint x, uint y) { return x + y; }

becomes:

0000: D1 00 43 FF sub sp,sp,#0x10
0004: B9 00 0B E0 str w0,[sp,#8]
0008: 2A 01 03 E2 mov w2,w1
000c: B9 40 0B E3 ldr w3,[sp,#8]
0010: 0B 23 40 40 add w0,w2,w3,uxtw
0014: 91 00 43 FF add sp,sp,#0x10
0018: D6 5F 03 C0 ret

0000: allocate space for locals
0004: save register parameter x as local
0008: save register parameter y as w2
000c: load local x into w3
0010: w0 = w2 + w3
0014: deallocate space for locals
0018: return from function

I know this looks treeevial, but an awful lot has to work to get this far.

I suppose I can talk about the side project I'm working on -- porting @raysan5 's great raylib library to D. The end result will be D-ified API. But some interesting features of #dlang being used here, including the ability to import C code. https://t.co/suNqNjKmXY
