The FAQ page ..

[Hasan Aljudy]

This has probably been brought up more than once! but oh well,
The faq page is misleading,
http://digitalmars.com/d/faq.html
It's old, contains false and/or useless statements, such as this:

Why is [expletive deleted] printf in D?

printf is not typesafe. It's old fashioned. It's not object-oriented. 
It's not usable with user-defined types. printf is guilty as charged. 
But it's just so darned useful. Nothing beats it for banging out a quick 
dump of a value when debugging.

Note: printf is actually not really part of D anyway, but since D 
provides easy access to C's runtime library, D gets it when needed.

Shouldn't the answer to that should be more like:
printf is not part of D, and its use is *not* recommended, use 
std.stdio.writef and std.stdio.writefln isntead.


and:

Will D be open source?

The front end for D is open source, and the source comes with the 
compiler. There is a SourceForge project underway to create a Gnu 
implementation of D from this.

I guess gdc hasn't been released yet <g>

The question (and answer to) "How do I get printf() to work with 
strings?" is totally useless and misleading. I was a victim of it for a 
long time .. that is, before I discovered writefln, which wasn't at the 
time mentioned very much on the site, if ever.
If the question must stay, then shouldn't the answer be something like 
"Just use writef, it works with D string automagically!".

That's all I found (for now at least .. )
