Just at the moment, for me, the reason to use D is it is the best language for GTK+3 and GStreamer. For this I am prepared to deal with the poor developer experience. For other tasks I'd use Go, Kotlin, Groovy, even Rust because they have far better tooling on Linux. If Kotlin Native gets an equivalent to GtkD, with Kotlin style GTK+3 and GStreamer bindings as opposed to the C use currently supported, It is going to be a strong candidate for switching away from D to Kotlin. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
