Some questions on latest work

[Bienlein via Digitalmars-d]

Hi deadalnix,

thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. The issue with 
RefCounted and classes appears to be fixed. I found this: 
http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP74. I also found evidence on the 
Internet that the GC leaking memory is only an issue with 32 bit 
machines. Looks like I could have just googled those things. 
Didn't expect things to be that easy. Anyway, thanks for 
answering.

With regard to Rust I think it is a very well thought out 
language also with an ecosystem that is well thought out (e.g. 
crates, module system, and other things). But it is for pure 
systems programming. I will not enter this area any more in this 
life, but do my stuff in Java and have some performance critical 
parts in C++. For that purpose modelling power still matters and 
I find Rust falls short in this area (which is probably fine for 
a pure systems language) whereas C++ and D are very well equipped 
for this.

Cheers, Bienlein
