any funding involved requesting explicitly betterC support?
I think cause interoperating with C/C++, as well as encouraging
migrating C/C++ code over D..has always been a key objective for
Andrei and Walter (as least that's the impression I get - as a
relative newcomer to D).
So I doesn't surprise me that it would be (remain) a priority for
the D foundation, which they (and others) represent.
All power to em...
Although... I'm just not convinced that C programmers will give
up C, and C++ programmers will give up C++ ... well... certainly
I don't see any mass migration on the horizon of my crystal ball.
Everyone will end up programming in C++, Java, or .NET .. says
the crystal ball.
