[Semi OT] Language for Game Development talk

[currysoup via Digitalmars-d]

Would just like to remind you all that he's trying to foster 
conversation rather than declare "this is the most perfect 
language ever". A lot of his ideas don't hold water in their 
current form but I'm sure D wasn't designed in a 2 hour live 
stream :). I'm personally really excited at the prospect of some 
momentum in a language designed specifically for games engineers.

D is really great and solves a lot of the issues raised in the 
video. A lot of D's features (GC in particular) become ugliness 
you've got to avoid. In addition all the @nogc, nothrow, pure, 
etc. becomes crufty.

I quite like the idea of "simple by default" and you enable 
features with annotations (@usegc, @throws, @pure).
