Hello Folks.
How are you?
Excuse me, I need a trust about D programming and C, In your
opinion D can be a replace for C?
Why a user should use D?
Please let me know your opinion.
Thank you.
Cheers.
It really depend on what you try to achieve. But in many case
it is a viable alternative. In other, things need to be
ironed out.
I saw D wiki and understand some goals about but Can you tell
me why you choose D and not C?
From my perspective, D cannot replace C in sense "you can throw
C away". Well, maybe it could theoretically, but not
practically.
But the trend is C is becoming more and more a high-level
assembler. Things like mapping to a register, no hidden costs,
"you can basically see the assembler when programming in C".
This is only true in very simple processor architectures.
In modern optimizing C compilers targeting modern CPUs, C no
longer maps to the hardware as much as many C coders still think
it does.
