> Also, we used to publish benchmarks. These inevitably did not produce illumination, but long ripostes from people arguing that the benchmark was unfair, inaccurate, nobody would write code that way, we sabotaged other languages, etc. Oh, this is pretty sad... Anyway thanks for your time. Was nice to interact with the author of D. I truly believe what you've done will inspire a lot of people. I hope you didn't encounter too many people saying creating D was foolish. I spent time checking about a lot of languages and only D (and Jai, but it's not released) would restore my joy of programming.
