Eljay:

Looking at all the successful languages, I have noticed that all the successful ones I am familiar with have had some sort of sponsor pushing the technology.

Python was widely used before Google "support". And I think Haskell has enjoyed corporate support for a lot of time.


My understanding is that Facebook is sponsoring D.

Not much, I think.


*** What does D lack? ***

Sometimes the problem is having too much ;-)


But the final result would showcase that D can do the heavy lifting of an operating system. Let’s see /language-X/ do that! (Where /language-X/ is not Assembly, C, C++, or Sing#.)

I think Walter doesn't believe a lot in Sing#...

Bye,
