I'm comparing C# to D because D is trying to do the same stuff

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?
Well, I really don't want to argue with you, and I'm not sure we
really have much to argue anyway.
But I don't see D as a replacement for C#.
C# has a hold of its territory pretty well, I don't see D
intruding into it, any time soon. It certainly has some good
feature that D could consider incorporating. I don't think
(personally) the Elvis operator is one of them. Other disagree
find. I'm with disagreement.
C++ on the otherhand, is certainly where D can showcase it's
benefit - and indeed where many focus their attention when it
comes to marketing D.
And if you had good skill in C++, and switched to D, and was good
at D too, then you'll be part of the generation that will replace
the C++ language and the C++ programmers ;-)
Sorry to the C++ fanboys..if you're listening...don't take it
personally.
