Somewhat on topic, but it feels like D evangelists and Walter Bright keep extoling everywhere about D but D has yet to really be used as widely as other modern languages. D forever was the "C++ replacement" and I feel like it still hasn't shaken that perception in people's minds even though D has come onto its own as a unique language.
- pjmlp 4y agoSince Andrei Alexandrescu decided to refocus on C++, I think it kind of settled the future of the language, when core members go back to the language that apparently is less capable. https://research.nvidia.com/person/andrei-alexandrescu https://research.nvidia.com/person/andrei-alexandrescu
- anta40 4y agoI guess D doesn't fits my use cases. I mostly write native mobiles apps (hello Kotlin), but ocasionally deal with backend codes in... Go. If I need "C++ replacement" for system programming, then the choice would be umm... Rust?
