> what are the weak points of D? The weak point is that it has a bad rep despite evidence of being useful, and loved in the field. Perhaps still paying the price of old split of community years ago? As a business I have no problem with D. It's a joyful language that is applicable to a wide variety of task except web front-end. There is a package manager, productivity is definately there, and you can work-around whatever problem is thrown at you. The leadership know what they are doing, the language is very stable, and the complexity manageable (yet staggering and some parts are definately to avoid). I mean, what's not to love? You can match C++ speed (LLVM backend) with heightened productivity and compile-times. If you have used a Wirth family language (or Delphi), you may feel right at home.
