Rust has a lot going for it, some of it hype, agreed, that has transformed into a vibrant user community. Go also has a vibrant user community, at least in London. Even C++ has a vibrant user community in London – reinvigorated and spurred on by Phil Nash, JetBrains, and C++17. In the face of Rust, Go, and C++ activity in London, and D's failure to get any user community activity going, it is hard to not shift away from D to Rust, Go, and C++. > > reduce is a free function in std.algorithm.

But then that is 50 years of programming language evolution for you. :-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
