One last thing. D is a pretty good language for getting stuff
done quickly in for a prototype that can be cleaned up quickly.
That's a point Andy Smith made, and that Liran made in his talk
also. I am having to deal with that increasingly now. I would
certainly much rather turn a D prototype written by a trader
into production than a python one - lets not speak of Matlab!
This aspect is mentioned on website but should be hammered home
- it's a practical language for getting started stuff done fast
without leaving a mess.
This is a point that keeps coming up, but it is hard to market
without people either trying the language or user testimonials.
Would you be able to write up a blog post about this, perhaps
along with your D collaborators to fish out some concrete
examples from your collective experience, maybe for the D blog?
We tend to focus more on the technical side for the D blog, would
be nice to have a post from this development perspective.
