Well, Rust doesn't have Mozilla behind them anymore either (ok, they now have a foundation with not only Mozilla, but also Microsoft, Amazon, Google and - whoa! - Huawei as sponsors, so you could argue that's an improvement). And I'm not sure how much Google is really invested in backing Go. But yeah, I guess D looks small in comparison to both...
- mhh__ 6y agoThis goes both ways, but one thing that we need to be louder about as a (D) community is that there are features that these languages (e.g. Rust) make a lot of noise about that Rust has had for years now - e.g. D's interop with C++ is extremely good, to the point where D should be able to catch an exception from C++ and unwind correctly. Another example is the Integers-in-Generics post that hit 300 points, which D has had for years now. There are some rust features that I want in D, but we'll see about that.
