- oh-kumudo 8y agoI am usually not against learning new stuff. But I would also like my learning from current work generalize to my future career. From a pragmatic perspective, learning D is probably going to have less ROI. Either the company focus solely on finding enthusiasts or they pay the premium to overcome this.
- walshemj 8y agoTrue up to a point but any professional developer needs to be able to pick up a new language quickly - I had to learn Pl/1G to work on a Map reduce code base. I was assuming a more rational choice but then developing serious technical software in pascal instead of fortran in the 80's was not a rational choice in the first place.
