I believe that the developers of D is a great opportunity: to 
copy all the new features before the release of C++17 in Phobos 
:) In my opinion, that would be cool!

I thought I was the only one who hated the 'hn comments are 
written in stone ready for Britannica' ethos so you made me laugh 
but I have to say its a good place to find articles.

Would be nice if coherent ownership semantics could be added 
to the list of things D does better than C++17


Please make a PR since I don't get how D does coherent ownership 
semantics better than C++. deadalnix tried to explain to me but 
I don't get it. C++ feels very coherent to me.

The post was on the front page for many hours, which is a lot 
more than how long the average link lasts. With 128 upvotes, it 
did very well, so your negativity is unwarranted.

Like probably everyone else here, I regularly read Hacker News. 
However, some of their policies can be quite frustrating.

upon the other.
