I have a lot of respect for Walter and for D. But having not enough time to try everything, I'm leaning towards doing a project in Nimrod[0] when I have the time.
D people who have some knowledge of Nimrod (or Nimrod people who have good knowledge of D) - where do you think D outdoes Nimrod? D is more mature, with a larger community, and a recognized brand - granted, and these are NOT trivial things -- in practice, they usually matter more than any specific feature. Yet, my question in this case IS about language/environment features.
As far as I can tell, all the examples in the article can be done at least as easily/tersely/nicely, if not more so, in Nimrod.

- CyberShadow 12y agoI don't know much Nimrod, but here's an article I wrote about a D package I also wrote, in which a number of D features have come together in an especially pleasing way: http://blog.thecybershadow.net/2014/03/21/functional-image-processing-in-d/ http://blog.thecybershadow.net/2014/03/21/functional-image-p... I'd be interested to know if the same expressiveness is possible in other languages without sacrificing speed.
