It wears off. I used d for quite a while, and I still think it's much better than c++. However, it's ultimately just more of the same: an incoherent, tangled mess. Slightly more coherent, slightly less tangled, sure. It's possible to iterate on garbage, but you still wouldn't want to serve it at a restaurant. Worse, it has politics. Prominent d users regularly talk about forking the language/compiler; not because of any specific language pain points, but because of pathological problems with the way the language is developed. The main compiled/native language to watch imo is cone[1], though most of its ideas are not yet implemented. Zig is also decent, and closer to production-ready. 1. http://cone.jondgoodwin.com/ http://cone.jondgoodwin.com/
