Phobos/Druntime are pretty good for a lot of projects.
In theory
And what seem to be the issues in practice with code that is
not highly specialized? -- Andrei
If code is not highly specialized there is no reason to spent
resources to use C/C++/D. A company will be happy with Python,
Java, C#, Go and Swift. If one need to have C/C++ programming
level he can not use D because DRuntime. Only a subset of D can
be used. And current problem that we have not BetterC paradigm in
D specification. So, only crazy companies will consider D for
large projects. Current D is successful in small console text
routines.
If a system PL can not be used as C for highly specialized code,
it is not a real system PL.
DRuntime and Phobos is going to compete with Java and Go. It is
suicide for D, IMHO. In other hand, BetterC is a direction where
D can be populated among professionals and replace C/C++.
