D lacks dynamism just like C++ does. Surely, it’s a controversial task and I may get criticized. But frankly I don’t care, I don’t get paid for writing articles and so I write about things I’m interested in or care about. I care about the future of C++ since it’s my favourite programming language. In my paper I’m going to show that C++ could have all the capabilities other languages such as objc have and many more.

Extending C++, that's a controversial task. So many opinions, and the current state is not my favourite :s

Did you try D from Digital Mars? I like what they've done there.

Thanks. Yes, I found only 2 articles about Qt rev, but they weren't really in depth and they focused more on C++ rev. Whereas in my article I focused on the internals of the framework and how to retrieve the metadata from binary files. Again, it's simple, I wrote it in a day, but there isn't any other article on the subject and it covers what a reverser needs to know about Qt.

And yes, indeed I have been busy doing lots of things, mainly development and studying. The big article is a proposal to extend significantly the C++ language. It's quite an extensive paper, since it covers the internals of the suggestions as well.

Nice to hear back from you. There is really few articles on Reversing Qt, so thanks ;). What is your big article about?
