I'm not talking about merging .NET into D I'm talking about instead of building Vala which transpiles to C, the creators of Vala could have just made a D library instead. D does not need the .NET ecosystem to survive.
- pjmlp 1y agoNeither am I. D needs a usable ecosystem, the point is that since Andrei Alexandrescu's book came out, the incomplete pivots have allowed the competition to get most of D features where it had an edge back 15 years ago. Even Andrei eventually got back to C++, now working at NVidia. Native AOT or .NET Native, plus all the Midori related improvements, and everything else C# has access to, was one example, there are others from other ecosystems.
- giancarlostoro 1y agoAh I understand. Yeah, what D needs is to build up a STD lib comparable to Go’s which lets you build nearly anything OOTB without a fuzz.
