Perhaps this poll isn't public enough? On reddit and stuff?
I don't imagine many new users read these forums frequently,
and this is the only place it's been posted AFAIK.
Brand new user, wrote my first D program today. It preformed the
same task as a python program I had laying around. I wanted to
see if a compiled language could as terse the python syntax I've
grown accustomed to. Well, I'm happy to say the D program was
one line shorter! Not bad.
I've programmed python for over 10 years and was considering
diving into Java since the C standard library is so tiny and it
has no standard cross-platform GUI toolkit. I'd say D is looking
pretty good, now if it just hand a standard GUI library...
(Side note: I entered a fake email address, is that a no-no one
this list?)
