I was a bit surprised by the inclusion of lesser languages and the omission of D !!
Please share the secret of your tenacity and inspiration in the face of such "setbacks". How do you do it on a day to day basis?
- WalterBright 8y agoI know how good D is and I have a lot of confidence in it. There are a lot of great people using it that are getting their jobs done faster & better and are thereby making more money. That's what matters to me. Everybody likes to make more money :-) Back when I was a brand new engineer at Boeing, I was talking to my lead engineer about the beauty of aerospace engineering. He smiled and said I didn't get it. Boeing wasn't making airplanes, they were building money making machines for airline companies. That the airplane turned out to be a beauty was just a happy side effect! D isn't about my personal aggrandizement. It's about how effective it is for users at solving their problems and making money for them.
