- krapp 2mo agoWalter's proud of his D and he likes to show it off. Don't make it weird.
- WalterBright 2mo agoYes I am proud of it and like showing it off. It's also fun when other languages copy aspects of D.

- gingerBill 2mo agoWhy is a bad thing that another language design and compiler writer compares his language as a point of comparison? I really like it when he does because it allows me to see what he has done for D, and learn from it.
- mathisfun123 2mo ago> Why is a bad thing that another language design and compiler writer compares his language as a point of comparison? "why is it a bad thing if you do X thing incessantly". in this specific case it's called shilling. if you've been on hn for longer than a week you'll notice he advertises D as if it's his fulltime job (which it probably is).
- WalterBright 2mo agoThe article itself compares its assembler to others, so comparing it to D's is quite on topic.
- WalterBright 2mo agoGoogle defines "shill" as: "A shill is a person who is paid or secretly works with a trickster, gambler, or salesperson to trick others into buying something or joining a game by pretending to be a normal, happy customer" I am not paid, nor work secretly (I use my real name), and am not tricking anyone.
- WalterBright 2mo agoWhy not? Whenever there is an article about D on HN, there are plenty of comments comparing it to other languages, sometimes over half.
- bellowsgulch 2mo agoHonestly, I wish other language developers would chime in, too. It's insightful.
