Scala is built by impractical computer scientists, D is a masterpiece coming
from the software engineering community. Is there really anything worth
learning from it? If you implement features that come from a scientific
language, laymen can't use D anymore or it becomes unusably slow.
I've tried Scala and the language was too much different from C/C++/D to be
useful in real world programming:
def foo = 1 + 4 vs int foo() { return 1 + 4; }
val foo: String = "bar" vs string foo = "bar";
