and btw. if you had gone back a few threads (instead of just
jumping into a conversation to just have a go at me), then you'd
know that it all started because i attempted to inject some
humour into the converstation, and used a youtube video that made
fun of the design of Windows 10 - in a humerous manner.
What results from that, was some guy telling me that I was
bashing on Adam. That i was anti this and anti that.
Then others got involved too, trying to bash on me even further.
The same thing happened when I mentioned my concern that 64bit D
on Windows can only happen if the user is prepared to download
GB's of propriatory, closed source, bloatware. When I did that,
MSFT fanboys came out to dump on me, instead of
saying..yeah..perhaps that might be a good way for D to proceed.
So, if you're all willing to dish it out to me, you better be
prepared to take some too!
D's future will depend not on how well it ties into a propriatory
o/s, but who well it runs in open source environments. Anyone who
doesn't see that, doesn't understand whats going on in the world
of software development. Even MSFT get that, and are now trying
to port C# as quickly as possibly to other platforms to hold off
the competition that's already here, and more to come.
I think D is where it is, because it was developed on Windows
(windows 32 bit it seems). Had it been developed on an open
source operating system, I expect it would be miles ahead of
where it currently is.
If D is making Windows its platform priority, then it has to
compete with exiting MSFT solutions on the platform, which in my
mind, are far superior to anyting D can or will be able to
provide. D should focus its attention elsewhere.
That's just my opinion. Others can disagree. I don't mind
disagreement. But I mind not being allowed to disagree!
