Lisp vs. C++ (not off-topic)

[Josh Stern]

This old blog doesn't mention D, but I think it is good and really
relevant anyway:

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~bcorfm1/C++-vs-Lisp.html

IMO, it points to a set of issues that relate to how D (and its libraries)
have the potential to allow developers to be a lot more productive than
they are with C++.   Particularly relevant D features related to
the points mentioned there include but are not limited to  GC, mixins,
regex, and elimination of header/instantiation separation.   The point
about the productivity benefits of creating interfaces that return the
most interesting value (maybe alongside the interface that allows the
greatest efficiency when optimizing) is a good one to remember in practice.
