The only thing holding me back from D is that it is unreliable.
I'm not just talking about bugs in Phobos (which can easilly
found and/or fixed).
I'm talking about all the unreliable voldemort structs, the
context pointers, the delegates, the destructor sequences, memory
management and whatnot.
I can see that these issues are being fixed and worked on, but
today, I would NEVER even dream of using D in a professional
project.
The only way for that to work would be to use a "restricted D":
No non-static structs, no allocating delegates etc. It's a hard
sell to management.
I use it at work to quickly deploy helper scripts, because it is
so easy, and I know what I'm doing, but it stops there. It HAS to
stop there :( ...
