It's clear by working with D that it has the same bad point

Quote: "In terms of functionality, Pascal is pretty much
exactly the same as C, except with some sanity-conserving
restrictions on one hand, and more verbose syntax on the
other. It was an okay language for the time when it was
popular, and I would give it kudos just for having the common
sense to make the assignment operator := instead of =, and
not allowing it to be chained, but verbosity back then was
still something to be avoided if possible, so C was naturally
seen as superior."

Regaring this, I don't understand what you mean either.
How is D unnecesarily verbose?
Do you have any specific example?
I don't have specific code but it was a general notice. Take
Python as in example, the same program in Python doesn't cost
much code as D code, and of course by putting in accounts that
that I assume that there are some special tasks D can do, while
Python can't do.
You are just sounding like a troll now...
That makes no sense:
"I assume that there are some special tasks D can do, while
Python can't do"
How?
"Take Python as in example, the same program in Python doesn't
cost much code as D code"
What same program are you talking about? Why did you mention
python as if you showed me an example I can see?
What am I supposed to say if can't even explain or show an
example of how D is more verbose?
