Currently I have been learning D for about a year and a half.
This may seem like a short time, but this is the longest I have
stuck with any language. I have only been learning for 4 years
and I am currently in university studying first year of
computer systems engineering.
My main problem is that now I am looking for industry
placements, it is clear that in this field C and C++ are highly
desired. I have used C++ prior to discovering D, but much of my
learning curve has occured while using D, and I feel quite
comfortable using it. Using D makes me look back at what a
great language it is compared to C++ (I know it can also be
compared to C but I haven't used C).
Failing that, think of this as another one of those 'D is
great!' posts ;). And whatever happens, I'll certainly try and
convince my host company to use it...
"Those who will use D will use D". Tomorrow someone else will
come and say "Oh, D is not picking up because of poor GC support
to handle memory for large scale deployments".
To the comments above, let's have a prof on what you are saying.
"Those who will use D will use D". Competition is bad. C++ did
compeat with C and we now have a beast.
Set your goals and focus on that.
