Here are some things that make C++ better than C - RAII - exceptions - classes and objects - inheritance - templates - the STL C++ is strictly better than C when wielded correctly.

It's a collective effort!

The effort of the Academy to create new words top-down (partly) inspired us to make a parodic website: https://bitoduc.fr/ I think french rappers (which are amazing imho) create more words successfully because they have a m

Yes. No. I think yes, but some customers can only pay using Stripe.

Use both! Customer use Paypal and Stripe 50/50 here.

I'm 100% with you. There is often a debate in the D community how the defaults could have been better: pure, @safe, const by default, no GC by default etc. But not every bit of code need to be perfect. Code must prove its usefulness fi

For me, it's the interface. It's just really complicated and slow. And I can't communicate with followers without paying. Advertising on FB is not really worth it, in most cases.

Low footprint compared to the competition, Discord is way better than IRC practically so IRC is no competition. I'd better spend that RAM to have features.

I'm precisely speaking about seeing the logs when not connected. The sense of community on IRC is lower because you need to connect all the time and otherwise loose what everyone said.

by p0nce 8y ago
No if you are not connected you loose the logs.

In on both Discord on IRC but like Discord better. Discord comes with multiple servers (not that easy in IRC, you must have a bouncer), formatting, logs, in an easy package and relatively "low" footpring when compared to the compe

D does that quite routinely too.

Can you quote any project were this strategy was commercially successful?
589.
by p0nce 8y ago
You talk as if this was an example of a successful strategy of writing a general purpose language for one program. However Jon Blow's successful games, Braid and the Witness, were not written with that new language.
590.
by p0nce 8y ago
Hence why making a new application-specific, general purpose language is probably not the greatest idea vs building a DSL within one of the languages you mentionned.
591.
by p0nce 8y ago
But powerful languages of today let you build DSLs within them, so there is hardly a need to write a lexer/parser/semantics for a whole new language.

The problems with visual programming have never changed: at one point you need functions, macros, identifiers, user-defined types, error paths, diffs... (EDIT: it's an idea that doesn't work at all for _general purpose_ programmin

But package.d could lead you to overdepend on too many modules too :) it's mostly great for end applications rather than internal to libraries.

Not all languages are the same, C++ is vastly more complex than many other programming languages (arguably all of them). The only reason to keep learning C++ after years of practice is the sunken cost.

If it is string-based meta-programming you find ugly (as many do as first), consider the alternatives are maybe not much better in practice. https://forum.dlang.org/post/l5srs7$2m3$1@digitalmars.com

> Similarly operator overloading via a string that tells you what you are overloading seems... insane? Very error-prone & complex? Frankly you should try D for just 5 minutes and see for yourself, because no it is really sane and wor

You can't in C++ because learning the language takes 10 years and is a never-ending story.
