The problem that took him 5 years to fix in C++, I solved in a minute with D

[matheus]

Hi again,

Well I'll reply myself instead of making individual responses to 
not pollute this topic too much, but overall I see some people 
complaining that I was bashing C++, and all can I say it was NOT 
on purpose.

I was just pointing out one case that was in fact very 
embarrassing in my opinion.

This video is from Jason and he is well known on the C++ 
community and even gave some presentations on CppCon, so it was 
amusing seeing him struggling with the language for something 
that I could do easily in D (Again I'm not a D hardcore at all).

I think that differently from some people here I like D's GC, I 
never had much problem with it (Knocking on the wood), and even 
that I don't use much templates I prefer the D way in contrast 
with C++ and I could go on with this, but I think you get the 
gist.

I usually watch videos from CppCon from time to time to see 
what's new, and to be honest most of the new features presented 
there for me seems to be clumsy or overwhelmingly painful to work 
with and not so simple compared with D.

First sorry for that, but this is true and the reason is just to 
avoid spam, I post from the forum.dlang.org and while I don't 
know if this still the case, but there was a time in the past 
where the e-mail address was being leaked and could be found 
through google, so I use a random one just to post.
