Here at work I'm toying with C++ compatibility right now: If it's
viable, I would like to use D instead of C++ for a cloud tool
that must link with C++ computer vision libraries...
Right now it sounds promising, so this feature could really be
very interesting, not only to facilitate the integration with
existing in-house codebase, but also for brand new projects.
I'm starting to think that there will be a lot of buzz and fuss
about D as soon as good bindings to popular C++ libs will appear
in the wild...
