Part of the confusion here is that writing '{"key": "value\nda"}' in python is NOT producing a string like this: {"key": "value\nda"} but instead like this: {"key":

I work in tech full time. I mostly write python code. Python similar to D allows you to override ~all operators. I have yet to run into an instance where someone has overridden operators to do something completely insane. Honestly the weird

calling it a "claim to fame" is not implying it's not true. It's an idiom. Wiktionary defines it as "That for which one has bragging rights; one's reason for being well-known or famous."

The blog isn't about the responding tweet. Or even about any tweets. It's just using them as examples of a communication pattern the author noticed.

Or you can assume it's implemented sanely. Yes if someone overrides $ and does something wildly wrong with it that'll get confusing. That's the fault of whoever wrote that code though, not of $ itself. You can also overload +

Honestly the main reason UFCS is good is when you don't "own" the type your function would need to be a member of. Most common one I run into is the "to" function from the stdlib. You can do this: import std.c

There's nothing preventing UFCS from working with code completion. e.g. given: int addOne(int v){ return v+1; } You can now write code like this: int foo=3; writeln(foo.addOne); There is absolutely no

I cannot emphasize enough how OP is a power hungry maniac that decided to blow up a ~30 year old community of ~90k people in an attempt to seize power. This guy does not deserve any of your time or attention.

While the purposivism approach has its own problems, it does seem to avoid a lot of shenanigans of the form "Well you didn't say we couldn't sell ground up orphans as soup." There should be space for companies and peop

It should be mentioned that within the python community using __ for extra private is widely seen as a misfeature that shouldn't've been added and shouldn't be used.

Oh C++ has the clear advantage in libraries available, for sure. That's not really due to the languages themselves though I'd say. I'm honestly not quite sure why C++ got widely adopted and D did not.

I feel like the main problem people have with C++ is not the lack of features, but the absolute glut of slightly bad features. That's why I prefer D over C++ in any case: it's a much smaller language. You can learn enough to be da
