Re: C++17

[Dejan Lekic via Digitalmars-d]

I humbly believe D should not care about C++ any more. It should 
take own path, and attract developers not just from the C++ camp.

No matter from which camp someone comes, that person will 
complain about something. Obviously, C/C++ programmers complain 
about GC because they are used to manage the memory manually. 
People from JVM (this is where I belong even though I use D for 
over 10 years) and .NET worlds can rightfully complain about many 
things especially in the area of business applications and 
systems, distributed systems (90% of big-data solutions run on 
Spark, Hadoop or Storm).

People from functional worlds will complain about OOP approach in 
the standard library. People from OOP world will complain about 
modules in the standard library that are done in more functional 
way...

Finding a balance is hard, and I humbly believe having all the 
features C++ has in D will help...
