division of objects into classes and structures is bad

It is very a pity.
My small opinion: it is impossible to reduce performance for struggle
against potential errors - such languages already are, it more
high-level. It how to refuse pointers because they are dangerous,
difficult for beginners and without them it is possible to make any
algorithm.


What is D?
D is a general purpose systems and applications programming language. It
is a higher level language than C++, but *retains* the ability to write
high performance code and interface directly with the operating system
API's and with hardware.
