While randomly browsing online, I found this link below
https://www.quora.com/Which-language-has-the-brightest-future-in-replacement-of-C-between-D-Go-and-Rust-And-Why/answer/Andrei-Alexandrescu
This is a post on Quora, with some interesting statements by
Andrei himself
"Overall it could be said that D has the downsides of GC but
doesn't enjoy its benefits."
"A historical lack of vision"
"Of the three (D, Rust, Go), Rust is the only language with
world-class PL theorists on roster"
"(D) 10x better than any other system language at generic and
generative programming"
I am posting this here, because, I see a lot of comments that
seem to suggest, that some people - me include, or me me at
least, were under the impression that the makers of D, are not
fully aware of its competitive advantages and disadvantages
But this post proves at least to me that the D foundation
members, are really fully aware, how D compares to its key
competitors
This post on Quora, makes it fully clear to me that the makers of
D are fully aware of D's position
Anyway, it is a nice read, and reminder to some of us who follow
this forum, that we probably dont need to remind D makers what D
needs, or where D should go etc..
