I always ignored D, i prejudiced that D failed, because nobody
were talking about it. I decided to check it yesterday, it has
excellent documentation, i almost covered all aspects. I think
D is much better than the most of the other popular langs. It's
clear as JScript, Swift, Julia and PHP, also it's capable
enough as C,C++. I think D deserves a bigger community.
Why people need NodeJS, Typescript etc, when there is already
better looking lang?
Everyone talking about how ugly is Golang. So why people are
going on it? Performance concerns? Why languages that are not
backed up by huge companies are looking like they failed?
I lurk this forum every so often, since the time when there
was this funny guy who ranted like a rude drunkard.
At work I developed in dBase, Turbo Pascal, Delphi, Visual
Basic, ASP, Java, C# and PHP, roughly in that temporal order, but
most of my few hobby project and freelance work have been in
Delphi, then Lazarus.
D seems to have enhanced a lot, and I have even downloaded
dlangide source once to try compiling and running it. I ran into
some dub dependency problem and forgot about it.
I guess, bundling the tools, ide and a couple good demos into
an easily downloadable installation package (or package repo as
in Debian) could be of some help. See for example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/

Hope this helps,
Daniel
