D will become popular, once it becomes standardized. Then again, D will never be standardized, due to utterly pointless redundancy. :3

No, programmers who want something like D (a 'modern' C) will end up going with Google Go.

Because of Google. Go is much more limited than D.

I admit that Go is an interesting language with interesting concepts, but the fact that Go ships its own C compiler, instead of using the system compiler (GCC, MinGW, VisualStudio cl.exe, Clang, w/e) is highly disappointing.

Apart from that, The compiler apparently creates non-standard ELF binaries, that seem to be incompatible with ldd, gdb, valgrind and co.

And all that could have been prevented if Go would feed the C stuff to the system compiler...

Google really tries to reinvent the wheel every damn time, sigh.

Interesting? Tell me what is interesting about Go that D doesn't do better. Goroutines? The forced capitalisation of exported symbols?

D has more ``interesting'' things than Go, and it's fully binary-compatible with C.

Go is fucked for adoption outside of Google unless they put it on Android to attract the "anything but Java" crowd.

D is a poor C++ ripoff.

Any programming language but Lisp (because it was ``discovered'', not ``invented'') is a poor Plankalkül ripoff.

So this board is indeed about prog aming after all.

All languages can be classified into four categories: name makes you think of C, name makes you think of Java, name makes you think of Lisp, everything else.

All languages can be classified into ONE category: everything else.
