The D Programming Language
in [C++]

From: Binglong X on 17 Nov 2006 14:29 Hello folks, I am not sure if this was brought up before, but this language is quite interesting when compared to C++ (and others such as C, C#, Java): http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html The comparison: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/comparison.html -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Yes, it has been brought up before. 2. It was off-topic then, and it is still off-topic now. This group discusses the C++ language. Not the relative merits (in someone's mind) of C++ versus X, regardless of whether X is COBOL, FORTRAN, Forth, Ada, or anything else, except C. Try comp.programming if you want to discuss the relative merits of different languages. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Some of us, who are not compiler writers, actually see a great advantage in being able to add library features.

Not every posting needs a response. I'll admit that as a moderator, I would have rejected it, on the grounds that it is really an announcement, and D isn't something new, meriting a new announcement---anyone who regularly reads this group is aware of its existance, knows something about it's relationship to C++, and above all, knows how to find information about it if he wants. If I didn't know Walter to be a man of impeachable integrity, I'd suspect him of putting the OP up to it, in order to get more exposure. > There's > no question, just a general opinion.

I suggest that we put it off until someone has something new to say, that isn't just a repetition of what we said the last time around. (That doesn't mean that I'm against garbage collection---just against endless discussions that don't change anyone's mind.) -- James Kanze (Gabi Software) email: james.kanze(a)gmail.com Conseils en informatique orient?e objet/ Beratung in objektorientierter Datenverarbeitung 9 place S?mard, 78210 St.-Cyr-l'?cole, France, +33 (0)1 30 23 00 34 -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.
