Seriously! I've never seen anyone complain that e.g. Go has a garbage collector, and Go's is not even optional. The only thing Go has over D is a large corporate sponsor.
- lucozade 9y agoThat's mostly because the Go folk stopped calling Go a systems language. And they did that pretty quickly after public launch precisely because of all the people pointing out it had a non-optional GC.
- dmitriid 9y agoThe only thing Go has over D is: - predictable release process - predictable language development - predictable changes between versions - clear direction - no competing and non-interoperable standard libraries - a backwards incompatible version 2 does not come out 6 months after version 1.0 deprecating it. Oh. Wait. That wasn't just an "only" thing.
