Burnout is a clinical condition and there are tests for it. You can't just ask people if they "feel" burned-out, as the term is often employed outside of the condition.

miles _ahead_? I'm not seeing that, at all. Software without UX persons... often has bad UX.

WebP has a bit less features, for example it's only 4:2:0 (which looks great).

Like gas, software naturally gets bigger up until it fills up any added value that might have been produced.

I don't know for GP, but UFCS functions just litter the auto-completion tab for me. It's also not always readable.

Products in https://www.auburnsounds.com/ also PDF generation, SIMD, static websites (CommonMark), and a lot of internal tools. There is a wide gamut of applicability. (EDIT: I have become that blurb programmer :o )

I use D every day for own business and it's a pleasure. Nice work!

Disagree. There are zillions of worse books than Clean Code to forget first.

Back when the DTK was available I've found that CIImage allocated with imageWithBitmapData was leaking, and moved to CGImageCreate and CGImage instead.

Tiktok is blamed for that, but it's pretty clear by followers metrics that people mostly want to hear about pretty and rich people foremost.

Well there is the integer promotion issue, and the integers-have-unknown-size issue.

The hardware match C, in x86 using 32-bit integers is not slower than using 64-bit integers.

> adding two int16_t together to get a int16_t in return is really hard Because the first thing people will do is: int16_t a, b; a = (int16_t) ((b * 157) >> 12); and then if b * 157 doesn't promote to 32-bit it ov

> This is a bad default behavior I don't think so. A lot of existing C code relies on this, and removing the promotion will prime this code to be copy/pasted without fix. Who will rewrite all the C and C++ codecs code out there

D doesn't try to "fix" C integer promotion/casts. It's because they aren't bad defaults. As a bonus you can port code from C with less risk. Soon you'll be able to compile it directly. I contributed to fou

If you use D across your organization, you can use the GC for internal tools and scripts, while keeping high-performance product code GC-free. So it's not really a hindrance, as you don't have to use different languages.

As someone having painfully translated some of STB headers over the years to D, this is good news. It's very easy for the translation to go slightly wrong and then code you don't understand breaks, usually loosing the time investm

The macOS D compiler cross-compiles to iOS, x86_64, and arm64. It just ships with 3 standard libraries built for those arch.
