How long will that take you to assimilate those C++20 features?

Exactly. Perl is hardly readable, difficult to understand, and simple things (like parsing a XML) becomes difficult in Perl.

Every argument against OO seems to ignore the success of OO programs in the wild. Where are all the non-OO competitors?

This is a valid criticism; yet a spec is "code" that has to be maintained and created, so in the context of open source someone has to do it. An ISO-quality spec needs a lot of efforts to happen. Thing have been getting slowly bet

Thanks for the very interesting research. It is unexpected to me another kernel + sharpening will outperform lanczos2/3 in practice.

Note that you can use D without TLS on scenarii that don't support it. TLS is a need of (parts of) the D runtime, which you can avoid if need be. This is painful, yet doable.

Sounds like a neat idea to leverage in b2c.

I feel the same about that article as with the book Rework, everything is interesting and insightful but to keep the writing simple, what is said had to be molded into simple messages ; with a probably slightly different meaning. It seems s

So a D successor could be a LISP with mainstream syntax and UX?

Can you avoid having a compiler in the runtime?

Yes. But you could see the new crop of native languages as: as close to LISP as possible without codegen in the runtime. There is this 2x gap between JIT and AOT. (EDIT: Other than that I'm not sure if any of the new kids can introspec

Absolutely, Nim and Zig have proper CTFE and you can parse JSON at compile-time with a normal parser code in all 3 of them IIRC.

Not only that, but consumers routinely understimate the risks of using software of dubious origin that has been tampered with. It should be avoided for security concerns alone.

You can get shorter games with lying with: Time Bomb, Fief, Among Us (all of which are excellent). All of which favors extroverted alpha types.

Don't get me wrong I'm sure native C# is plenty fast and within acceptable speed range. It it were me, native code would be used at a last resort strategy. But perusing https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/

So there is really no reason to be happy using D! What are those organizations using D thinking?

These sort of doom predictions have existed since the beginning of D, it hasn't stopped getting users. It's basically FUD. If you look at the thread link, basically everyone is happy using D so maybe contrast this well written cri
