Hi all,
I have been following this blog since the beginning with great
interest. I really like the D language, and you who contribute,
most of you seem to be smart people. I actually used D/Tango to
build a small production app, but was disheartened by the fight
between Tango/Phobos and stopped using D. Since then I started up
D projects a few times, but due time constraints I always ended
up using more hilvl alternatives, mostly PHP!
If you go back to the starting post of this thread; Item 2, the
answer is 'yes'. The nitpicking following I found interesting,
but it is utterly unproductive; it does not go anywhere (as most
of the discussions here).
If I were you I would concentrate on:
1 simple connectivity to languages and systems e.g. phyton and
SAP.
2 more capable 'auto', e.g. not many know or care about types
these days.
3 parallel processing, it is not the nano optimization that
matters but the simple use of e.g. map and reuse. Best is just
run parallel behind the scenes if possible.
4 Hilvl data constructs like tree structure, e.g. finance and
manufacturing.
Anyone can make a long list of useful things, but these topics
are large and hard to achieve, so I limit myself.
When I retired I said I will devote some of my 'free' time to 'D'
or 'Raku', I'm still looking for that time.
At last, I hope you can have a fruitful cooperation with openD.
You need to cooperate with everyone that can help.
