What essential features are missing for you?
- mariusor 1y agoFor game development? I imagine having to use only structs but not classes would be something that forces a "non idiomatic D" experience. Dynamic arrays sound like something that's very useful for a game. I don't know, there are plenty of features that are incompatible with better C that makes D, D. Generally speaking, garbage collection would be the biggest in my opinion.
- monkeyelite 1y agoYeah this person is asking how to make the smallest executable. They don’t want garbage collection.
- mariusor 1y agoGarbage collection was about what I would be missing. I mentioned before what could be missing from OP's point of view.
- monkeyelite 1y agoOk. I think the better C mode is cool and I think it’s worth a try for his interest and project.
- mariusor 1y agoI fully agree with you, but I think that if you present it as an option to somebody you should write a line or two about the potential downsides, so they have a better picture. Sorry if I was too abrupt in my criticism of your post. :)
- WalterBright 1y agoYou can still use classes in BetterC - you just have to allocate them yourself. D recently acquired "placement new" which makes that more convenient.
