It's good to see people use D where it shines. Congrats.
- ubercow 10y agoAs someone who's never seen D used before, would you mind elaborating?
- gravypod 10y agoAs a systems language for simple services that needs to interface heavily with C. Basically what Go was meant to be for.
- mack73 10y agoI'm a c-sharper and I wanna learn D. It looks nice. But where does it shine? I'm looking for a language, preferably c like, that optionally has pointers and with a good support for HTTP.
- clappski 10y agoPeople generally seem to go for it instead of C++, from what I've heard it's got a cleaner syntax and less (none?) UB.
- pjmlp 10y agoYou get to have a C# like language that compiles to native code and offers today what System C# did (which will never be available outside MSR walls) for systems programming. Plus it has lots of metaprogramming goodies, without the C++ SFINAE craziness. However it does have the caveat of using an old GC implementation and not much GUI related tools are available. But for CLI or server side applications on UNIX, if you don't want to wait for CoreRT to become available or not found of Mono AOT, D might be worth a try.
