Frankly said, I am a bit nagged by your overoptimistic D view.
From my point of view it is opportune to encourage people to use D2 for
real world applications. We (our company) having a 20K+
customer base are not able (and willing) to use D instead of C#, except
for tiny in-house projects. why> database, gui, xml, just to name the
top 3 issues.
Out of curiosity, what kind of XML support would you need?
From Setup storage to WSDL to Restful services. (But it is almost
about online ordering of material)
So .. What about an "where C# shines and D sucks" article. Let us start
with LINQ in D, or do you prefer to talk about phobos collections ?
Is something like LINQ possible in D?
I don't think so. (ATM, several people have tried by using string mixins)
But I can imagine at least one (imo) smart solution.
Enable compiler plug-in's so that you can write ..
void ExecSQLQuery()
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SQL92{ /*like asm {} */
dt = SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE IsPotentialClient = 1;
}
}
//which translates into D code (the D lexer/parser unit calls the D2
SQL92 Translator generator which generated this D source)
import SQL92
dt = db.Select("SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE PotentialClient = 1");
This translation feature could be generic.. we can create a translator
based on
Annotated EBNF In -> Annotated EBNF out
In fact I've created a tool (in Java) to translate SQL scripts. Firebird
to MSSQL respective PosgreSQL.
Hope this gives you an idea.. :)
