Bug 11277 – Bad default main.d (bad hello world example)

There are a number of small issues with the default-provided main.d file that have been bugging me for a while: * The module with `main` contains an explicit module statement, for which I can think of no justification * The main function uses an `int` return type without actually needing it, resulting in the boilerplate `return 0;` statement * The main function receives the program argument list but doesn't use it. Even if it did use it, it's named `argv` even though there is no `argc` in D; `argv` is still potentially a decent name, but I think `args` is more common, and has no implication of `argc` I suggest changing it to one of either: ----- void main() { import std.stdio : writeln; writeln("hello, world"); } ----- Or ----- import std.stdio; void main() { writeln("hello, world"); } ----- The former is probably the most conducive to remaining correct after tweaking. The latter is probably the most consistently used hello-world example for D2 (e.g. it's used on the front page of wiki.dlang.org).

I'll update according to the second suggestion.

Fixed in v0.3.37rc6 to be found here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases

Templates updated in Visual D 0.3.37
