I don't normally contribute a lot here but as I've been using a
fair mix of C/C++, D and Rust lately for a variety of projects
from game dev to web to services, I have a few thoughts.
Without exhaustively comparing the different pros/cons of the
languages, the most important thing that makes m

DasBetterC resolves that, though the library issue remains.
Indeed.
Unfortunately, it's often the standard library which makes the
difference between a nice language, and a nice useful language.
D is a great language not only because of the many great
decisions you made when designing the l
