So far you're proving no better than him.

Only the arrogant, confrontational ones invite this kind of abuse.

One doesn't need to have an education in programming to know how 
the C++ compilation model works, and having a BSc in Software 
Engineering does not mean one necessarily knows either. It's a 
meaningless assertion to make. I called you ignorant of the 
C/C++/D compilation model because you were being excessively 
confrontational even though your question was really more fit for 
dm.D.learn than anything. It isn't a personal attack, either, not 
sure why you'd take it that way.

With rampant hyperbole like this, you're only worsening the 
statistic you mentioned. You've been doing this in nearly every 
post you've made on this NewsGroup. You're definitely not going 
to have a pleasant experience at this rate. I'd like to engage in 
constructive conversation about any issue you may have with D and 
the D ecosystem, but you're hardly making it easy for us.
