Re: [Phoronix] D Language Still Showing Promise, Advancements

From version to another version a changes are very huge in Rust even in comparison with D. Also 3 types of pointers scares me. Version 1.0 promises be usable for wide public. Now on windows it's very slow and buggy.

Manu: They must be aligned, and multiples of N elements. The D GC currently allocates them 16-bytes aligned (but if you slice the array you can lose some alignment). On some new CPUs the penalty for misalignment is small. You often have "n" values, where n is variable. If n is large enoug
