Ok, if I'm wrong, then this means D is already a perfect
replacement to C++, especially for game development.
Just by curiosity, can you tell me how many successful
commercial games based on a D game engine are released each
year ?
Or just this year maybe...
No triple AAA engine is going to switch to D for the
following reasons:
1.)Cost vs benefit from converting C++ to D.
2.)Gamers do not care how things are implemented, they want
results.
3.)There are high abundance of c++ programmers for employees
to hired. I can't say the same thing for D.
4.)GC phobia.(The notorious culprit)

Just one silly question.
Can the following "naive" D code trigger a garbage collection
stall ?
score.Text = point_count.to!string() ~ " POINTS";
If the GC has been disabled (which any sane performance caring
application should do) no.
Yeah, I know, I'm not silly.
I meant, "if you use standard D code in a game (i.e. with GC
enabled), the game may stole, but if you use standard C++ code in
a game, the game may be a bit less performant".
In C++ you don't have to disable anything, and you can still use
the standard C++ library to make your game if you want to.
With D, I CAN'T use the language and its standard library as
usual, just because of the GC "phobia".
Which would be the #1 problem for me, because "standard" D is
perfect to me, as much as "standard" C++ is nice to me.
That's my point.
