You've misunderstood. I only wish the discussion was a bit more technical and had less to do with opinions and hype. The reason is, a more technical approach might solve technical problems in more efficient way. But my goal is not to belittle social issues wrt language adoption. Surely I understand reddit isn't lambda-the-ultimate.org and I'm glad that the Go trolls didn't find the thread (yet). I just find this behavior incomprehensible. My personal stance on this matter is that I believe a more consistent and flexible mechanism for operators would fit D. I'm also a bit more of a fan of C++0x concepts than those contraints shown in the slides. I haven't really thought how it all would work out, but if the atmosphere was more ambitious to this direction, I could participate more. But it seems my vision conflicts badly with what D2 has become. > > On 12/14/10, retard <[email protected]> wrote: >> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:44:36 -0500, snk_kid wrote: >> >>> Gary Whatmore Wrote: >>> >>>> Simen kjaeraas Wrote: >>>> >>>> > Walter Bright <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> > >>>> > > Andrei Alexandrescu wrote: >>>> > >> Compared to the talk at Google, I changed one of the "cool >>>> > >> things" from threading to operator overloading.
