DPL has a large memory footprint.
Compared to what?
When a minimum D program is compiled, the executable is huge compared to
the source code size. There are good reasons for that, but it is not a
small footprint.
I'm no word-smith, but the front page of the D site ought to avoid
ambiguous and meaningless buzz. It needs to be straight talking and
engaging.
Then please give some good examples of straight talk that's engaging.
I repeat ... I'm no word-smith; you have books to your name.
DPL ...
* Takes advantage of recent progress in programming language design,
which makes coding more convenient.
* Supports multiple coding models, such as OOP, Functional, Procedural,
and System-level.
* Generates native machine code (no interpretation or virtual machine),
which makes for efficient code.
