I've been in enough large scale C++ projects to enjoy D's
verbose approach. Sure, C++ is convenient and works 99% of the
time. But all you need is for some retard to create a Global
enum containing things like the words "Yes, No, True, False,
Red, Black, White", and then he's ruined it for *everyone* on
the project.
By the way, I am not criticizing "D verbose approach". I have
criticized the weak typing:
enum Foo { good, bad }
void main() {
int x = Foo.good; // Weak typing.
}
And some people have criticized the verbosity in special
situations, like this:
enum Foo { good, bad }
void bar(Foo f) {}
void main() {
// bar(bad); // Not enough
bar(Foo.bad);
}
