You already started it, by personally verifying the old book, you
showed several regressions. Great work btw.
It seems like 'templates' are the 'Achilles heel' of D.
has D gotten to the point where ordinary mortals have
difficulty coding in D with 'templates' such as 'cycle'
requiring rewrites into 'myCycle'?
Phoboes isnt all of d; templates are **the** feature on offer.
You can leave safetyism at any time, it doesn't matter that the
cia wants you to use rust, or that society's whats to "prevent
every nuclear death" while still mining coal. You can take a walk
during a thunder storm or mimik my style of code, or let a child
play outside at **any** time.
You will be called stupid or insane all the time, but when its
implied that safety is the highest moral standard without any
justification you can just say "nah".
Is D a general purpose language, suitable for Application
Programming, or does it have a more limited scope?
Safetyism is also over in c++ to some degree and its a founding
principal of rust; the fact I could give you 10 lines to define
cycle of simple code is a virtue.
