When the WindowsAPI project got started, the participants seemed to have a lot of energy. I've been following their progress, and they're still seem to be active. Rather than competing with them, I'd rather just let them do all of the work. It seems to me that they've been doing a good job, but I haven't had a chance to try to convert all of my little personal projects to use Core32 yet. Also, I think that the WindowsAPI project is now used by Tango and far be it for me to compete against that juggernaut.
Also, I'm married, and I have a full-time job that doesn't really relate much to Core32. So I stay busy enough with helping out at Wiki4D and sometimes contributing to the Tutorials project. |

A fine answer, and maybe the reason that I left the D community.
I put a lot of effort into getting the original files ported over to D
I kept MS's file struct and had thought (naive as I was then) that may be Walter would think my efforts where good enought to include in Phobos
(or at least enough ppl would start using my files to do real work on windows)
etc and so on, but instead I basically got told by Walter that my effort was wasted whilst the ppl associated with this web sight where always friendly and helpful I got tired of the unfriendly emails for others who where getting there work accepted as good enought to be included in Walter inner circle.
Now times have changed and I have a personal project that will be easier if I can use D 2.0 (rather than C/C++/C#/Java/Perl/Python/Ruby or some other language that I can write in).
and So will be getting Core32 working with D2.0 on Vista (maybe) ..
well I have XP single core and vista quad core (64bit) dev machines that I use .... we'll see. |

Welcome back! (I still follow the D newsgroups and the Dsoruce Forums, but I'm in lurk mode 99% of the time.)

(For what it's worth, it seems like Walter has let Andrei Alexandrescu become the main Phobos developer.)
