That's exactly why I loved D over C++ and Rust and had the feeling that I was not fighthing the compiler from day one: the GC, auto types, lack of annoying C preprocessor.
- jraph 5y agoD also has the good characteristic of not needing to download the entire Earth and compile half of it before starting a project. You just apt install ldc2 or apt install gdc and there you go (pun not intended). This actually made me chose D over Rust for my last project.
