Thanks a lot, but I was looking for small snippets (< 10 LoC)
than could be used to show the awesomeness of D at the roulette
on https://dlang.org
Any chance you could make your point a bit conciser? :)
I agree with you, indeed it is much too long for a carousel ;)
And it should be made even simpler.
But I still think that the first and only sample code someone
should read when coming for the first time on the D website
should be this kind of example, which shows how simple and
straightforward the D code looks like.
It's very important to reassure the visitor curious about D on
how easy it is to learn and use D, showing him that D's syntax is
familiar, and the code is very readable and concise.
Some first-time visitors may be meta-programming experts, but
many others (including me) are just looking for a simpler
alternative to existing languages, which allows them to quickly
program their stuff in an easy and efficient way.
And for those looking for a language which allows to program
complicated things in a simpler way, as D indeed allows to do it,
this should also be shown. But I don't think that this should be
the first example someone sees.
That said, I'm not totally against code carousel.
The one on the Python website is very well done.
https://www.python.org/
Its code snippets are very simple on purpose.
Python's landing webpage is very encouraging, and shows that this
scripting language can be picked up quickly.
