I wonder what kind of programming people plan or _hope_ to use
D for in 2016?
Right now I'm using D to make the next major version (2.0) of my
company's most known product - a video processing app called
Video Enhancer. Some part of it will remain in C++ (some
DirectShow filters) but the main app is all in D, including
working with DirectShow via COM and GUI using DlangUI.
What other languages do you think you will use or toy with in
2016 and for what purpose?
Recently I played with Dafny and I liked it, probably will try to
use it for verification of some of my algorithmic code here. We
also have some projects in C++, C#, Idris, Haxe and OCaml, many
of which will continue to evolve.
What would it take for you to use D instead, or what changes
would be needed for you to move from language X to D?
Intel compiler, please. ;)
Or at least some good story for SIMD on Win32. Although I didn't
really check how good/bad D is now in this regard.
