Author says exactly the same, don't try to replace C++, offer an alternative to C-like scripting languages.

Is it really that easy for you to generalize about thousands of people all round the world? I know quite a few excellent engineers in my home town with background in various other languages (me included) who also happen to work mainly in php because when you live outside US it's much easier to find a well paid remote jobs in php then for instance in C++. Are we all ignorant fools not entitled to have an opinion on other languages because of it?
- ognyankulev 10y agoWhat I meant by the PHP remark is that the publication is from the point of view of D as (making it the best?) scripting language. In this case, why C/C++/Rust are there at all? These are system-level languages that have very different priorities than scripting-level languages.
- ivanhoe 10y agoThat's true, I guess he was making a comparison why D should focus more on a scripting lang community. Which btw I don't really agree with, in my opinion D is pretty nice all-around language, don't see why limit it on a single niche.
