D programming language

So what does it offer to me that C++ doesn't?

* Nested functions
* Native 'foreach' loops
* Garbage collection
* Real string support
* #!/usr/bin/dmd -run
* Templates that don't end up looking like a cat walked on the keyboard
* in, out, and inout parameters for functions. Way more sensible than dealing with function references, and catches a lot of dumb mistakes too.
* Built-in unit testing and contract programming. Personally I find this to be invaluable.
* Lazy evaluation (see http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/lazy-evaluation.html - this is really neat)

something seems fishy here...

D is SEPPLES and Java's retarded child

>>18
If by retarded you mean "actually useful".

>>17
apparently the wikipedos are still seeing invisible posts.
oh well, at least the real FV has gone back to /pr/ and it's just that fake one posting crap now.

>>19
D is however not useful enough to overcome the genetic flaws from it's heritage.

there is more :
* fast compilation
* floating-point support done _right_
* import
* array expressions
* array slices
* STANDARDIZED alignment and ABI
* inline x86 assembly
* some kind of C++0x concepts
* readable error messages
* D2 will go further in awesomeness
* no __inline, no __MSC_VER__, no 4H compile time, no design by commitee

Unlike SEPPLES : the more you know about it, the more you love it.

floating-point
lol, what are you, a game programmer?

Probably the best feature of D is it got rid of 30+ years of shitty syntax patching and started fresh. Also eliminated the ambiguous <<>> template grammar (although I would have preferred they went with [] instead of !() as the new syntax).

>>23
And, *two* standard libraries!

>>31
You've got a point.

But is the situation better in C++ ?
You've got got plenty of near-"standard" librairies like QT, Boost and the STL and each one provides its own String class, threads and linked list.

>>31
I should add, two mutually exclusive standard libraries.

>>33
It's a D1 problem and will be adressed in D2.

But yeah, it's quite a mess.

Hi, I'm a C programmer. D is an okay language but it's obviously designed to improve on C++ rather than C. You might as well suggest that I use Java or Vala in my systems programming. That's not acceptable.

If someone made a language where the semantics were exactly like C (but with the addition of parametric types, and maybe a better string handling library) then I'd consider using it on my microcontrollers. Right now, not even Fortran is a good alternative to C, so I'm gonna keep using C.

>>35
Oh, and I'd like to add that I don't even care if the syntax is completely different. It could look like FIOC for all I care. The semantics are the important part.

>>36

Stick with C

>>36
C semantics
yeah, well, hmm

>>36
So..... why don't you use C?
