Good C++ programmers appear to be able to get $350k to $400k in NY. Of course the effect of that good programmers can be a profit increase measures in millions. I guess D should be able to do things just as fast as C++, at least using LDC or GDC. My little informal microbenchmarks indicate that this is the case, but for now this is anecdotal evidence not statistically significant. Sadly for a while D programmers won't be able to achieve the same remuneration as the top C++ programmers exactly because there is little demand/supply pressure. -- 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
