D versus Objective C Comparison

[Chris R Miller]

In my hiatus from D, I decided to take the plunge and teach myself 
Objective-C.  This gave me some interesting insights into both 
languages.  It's so fun, whenever I find another programmer, one of the 
first twenty things I say is "have you ever tried Digital Mars D?  It 
will change your whole life, I swear to you!"

Anyways, I decided to write up a comparison of the two languages from a 
less technical, more deployment oriented standpoint.  IOW, examining how 
well they perform for the last mile of development: deploying software.

As is my general stance, I refuse to downright pick a side - they're 
both good languages.  But I thought that those of you who put so much 
(god-damn heroic) effort into D might appreciate a little critique for a 
small bit of perspective.

Also, I do honor the right of reply.  If there's something I have 
written that is now incorrect or inaccurate I will of course change my 
page to reflect that.  Heck, all the comparisons in the world are 
worthless if they aren't accurate!

Have a great day, and keep up the good work!  I personally can't wait 
until D gets to the point that a (total bonehead) like me can install it 
on OS X!  Alas, right now it seemeth to require more brain cells than I 
have at my disposal.
