Yep!

Correct.

Python was an example. Want to call it from C# instead? Same code. Excel? Same code.
- jcelerier 7y agocould you explain the weird fascination of the D community with Excel ? there are so many "D" things for Excel and it seems really weird as an outsider - I don't remember the last time I've seen an actual Excel in the wild and not libreoffice or openoffice
- VHRanger 7y agoSince D has a fairly small community, I imagine its a handful of resourceful users in the financial sector fixing problems they're forced to deal with
- bachmeier 7y agoThere's also the fact that the Excel userbase is massive, so it's a sensible target.
- atilaneves 7y ago> could you explain the weird fascination of the D community with Excel No, because I'm not aware of one existing. The only reason I wrote excel-d is because of business reasons. > actual Excel in the wild and not libreoffice or openoffice Where I work, and in many many other places, it's all Excel. It's actually the most used programming language in the world. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is.
