Volt vs D

I see that Volt is very D-inspired. Could you add mention about difference? Maybe you can look at Nim to get more interesting futures to Volt?

-Lgc library not found

I followed instructions for OS X, I'm on Yosemite 10.10.4.
DMD is in the path & works, just like llvm-config.
make seems to succeed, but make run outputs :

[stripped]
attributes #0 = { noreturn nounwind }
attributes #1 = { uwtable }
ld: library not found for -lgc
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
  RUN    a.out
make: ./a.out: No such file or directory
make: [run] Error 1 (ignored)

Any idea ? I guess -lgc is a garbage collection library, but why is it missing ?

main.volt:1:1: error: can't find module 'core.compiler.defaultsymbols'.

@Wallbraker #60 Sorry for duplicating issue, but I want to know how to fix this problem, I really want to use Volt for programming.

Volt is BROKEN and should be fixed

@Wallbraker I can't compile simple program:

input:

import watt.io;

fn main() i32
{
    writeln("hello, world");
    return 0;
}

output:

main.volt:1:1: error: can't find module 'core.compiler.defaultsymbols'.
/Users/t0md3an/Desktop/Volta/lib/src/volta/postparse/importresolver.d:90

Why is separating class ind struct is bad?

I have found very interesting mention from Alexandrescu that:
"Rust has two advantages I can think of: it doesn't have the struct/class split that D does". Could anybody explain why it's bad, and maybe till Volta in WIP it's not later to change it.

Pattern matching

Some arguments about Rust-like pattern-matching

Ideas, queries and issues

Hi,
Over the years since D2 I've thought about what changes I'd make if starting again. I've written up a list on Google docs, hope that's OK. Not sure if there's another place for discussions.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10S9357qY0NbCnsKyaefRQvBgmovtv4z_GYyGmcXUU1k/edit?usp=docslist_api

Hope you find it interesting.

Distribute the compiler with all dll that are needed

hi,

after some time being traveling on business, i try to build the llvm.dll for windows and don't succeed (have real problems with cmake). Is it possible to distribute the compiler with the needed dll's to run it?
Thanks in advance

Function decorator bloat

This post was about D, but it's seems that Volt have some same issue. example:
"Function decorator bloat: I recently tagged a function @property @nogc pure @safe override"

error while building hello file from Getting Set Up

system:

OS: Pop 22.04 jammy
kernel version: 5.19.0-76051900-generic

problem:

after fallowing this guide I can't finish the last step (battery build) because of the fallowing outputs:

[redacted]/Volta/src/volt/visitor/prettyprinter.d(73): Deprecation: Usage of the `body` keyword is deprecated. Use `do` instead.
[...]
[redacted]/Volta/lib/src/volta/parser/templates.d(244): Error: `opSub` is obsolete.  Use `opBinary(string op)(...) if (op == "-")` instead.

and other similar deprecation errors that may be irrelevant.
the error persists building from hello/, root, using battery.txt or an equivalent battery.toml (I also received an error of a missing toml file in the hello folder)

I have all dependencies installed and updated to latest versions, including battery. I cloned all repos today from main branch. any help would be great.

Coming from D guide

It would help a lot if you can provide a guide for people who already know D which explains the differences and (why those differences have been made)

Where to learn how to make a compiler?

It might be a dumb question, but I've always wanted to learn how to make a compiler. I know I won't be able to make it in a week, but it'd be a fun project to do over the summer or something.

Safe int

As I wrote before I am interesting in Volta as more high-level language then D. So I hope to see in it's by default things like safe int like http://code.dlang.org/packages/safeint

error: No valid LLVM Toolchains found!

I followed the Getting Started guide for trying out Volt.

After installing the needed dependencies on Debian inside WSL2, I am getting the following output from

Feature modular/configurable runtime

This Feature idea is inspired by John Blows "programming language for games" and Vulkans" more responsibility for the developer". I will post more details about the idea in D forum at some time. There are people (like e.g. John Blow) who don't like/trust a GC language, especially for games.
The idea (if feasible at all) is to configure the game project wide runtime to not use the GC but instead ref counted or plain new and delete allocators (preferably in code as pragmas). The later one would require project wide @System declaration as unsafe.

What do you think?

Change logical operators to word

I really do not see any benefits in using operators like: && || and so on. It's much easier to read code that use normal words like: AND OR and so on.

if (a = 1 OR b =2) look better then if (a = 1 || b =2)

Volt site CMS

I would like to suggest migrate Volt site to our new CMS that already in use at dlang.ru
We just end very huge refactoring of it. It's very powerfull CMS based in .NET MVC. Maybe it's not best stack of technologies, but it's enough good.

The CMS is now private project. Very soon we will move it's to public. It's can be very good for creation community of about Volta, like was at D1 time with Dsource.org

I can give distribution of our CMS for free (except sources -- I can distribute them due to license issues -- it's not only my project). So you can look at it. And if you like, I would also happy to make Volta site more usable.

Very soon we will end work on new default theme, and site would look move better then now.

Build failed (macOS) [can be fixed]

Does Volta need foreach_revese?

I have seen that Volta use foreach_reverse. But it's operator look a little bit ugly. Maybe it's better to replace it with something foreach(i; 99 .. 0 : -1). And could you change semantic of to be able write like:

foreach (element in elements)
Or even like Python
for (element in elements)
Or:
for (element in elements.reverse)

take ideas from Julia and Nim languages

I am still thinking about ideal programming language. I found Julia look very good. But it's purpose to create language for science. The D also look for me very good, but it's a little bit low level for me. So I hope that Volta could grow to something like Julia language.

About Volta web site

Hi! I have some experience with vibed and vue-js. I would like to try to write Volta web site. But I am not sure about technologies. Would it be good to have Volta site written in D?

I can't promise, but I would like to try.

And please could you write about section on site that you need. For example code.volta-lang.org forum etc

is Volt development stopped ?

Hi,
just discovered Volt and it look nice, but every date I can see seems old now. is the development on a pause or stopped..?
