True. But i find myself with like 10+Gb of c++ sources, are you
suggesting that i should write C wrapper for all that code to use D? Or
maby you suggesting that i have to make all my (hundreds) collegs write
C wrappers for all new code? I really just trying to start D community
in company i work, and there is no way to do it without nice integration
with old codebase.
What I'm suggesting is that there are a lot of people with a lot of
different priorities and still a lot of work to be done just to get the
core language features where they need to be. D already has interop with
C and that's been extremely important. While I think it would be
fantastic to have fully-functional C++ interop so that one could just
drop a D module into a project and take off, I wouldn't expect that to
be a major priority at this time.
