How many corporations is using D right now? 10?
Windows is still dominant OS and there are a lot of job
opportunities for C#.
D is unusable for startups or corporations where are junior
programmers hired anyway because it's too complicated to use.
And pay senior developers for job what can be done by juniors
but in different language is not worth.
(e.g. metaprogramming is great stuff but require high skilled
programmers to use it correctly.)
Yeah..let's use the D forums to bag D. What a great idea.
Yeah, because my opinion about D will be more valuable for the
language at C# forum :)
I'm not bagging D I'm just providing my personal opinions,
experience and expectations.
And, why are you trying to compare the state of C# to D.
I really do not see your point.
Besides being completely different languages, with completely
different purposes, one is backed by a billion$ corporation,
and the other is developed by a group of volunteers.
I cannot accept the assertion by some, that we 'should' look to
C# for language advice.
I'm comparing C# to D because D is trying to do the same stuff as
C#. GUI development and website development. I used vibe.d, I
used ASP.NET core and I'm still missing some C# features in D. So
I'm sharing my experience and expectations.
If you don't want to compare D with C# or other languages, just
don't push D to the same place as C# is. Why isn't D standing as
a replacement for C++ but pushing into webdev and gui dev? C++ is
not used for webdev too, and gui dev in C++ is horrible.
And yeah, swift was developed by some volunteers until Apple took
it. Why Apple didn't take D instead?
