Once I have everything working in D I simply port it over to
C++.
i don't get it
you are an novice D programmer and your programs are easy to
convert back to C++ so you'r not using too much D specials
whats the point of doing it like this?
It's not about using special features. As a matter of fact, I'd
think he'd purposefully stay away from special features.
The point is that he *develop* the program in D in half the time
it would have taken him in C++. Given this productivity gain, he
can mess and improve his program much faster and with more
quality than he could have in C++.
Once his D program is stable and the outline/flow is clearer to
him, and he knows what he wants to do, he only has to convert to
C++, which can be done very fast.
I do this too. It is *very* helpful when you don't know *where*
you are going when you start.
I'd stick to D all the way, but as namespace said, D may not be
mature enough, or stable enough, or just allowed as a final
language in the workplace :/
