Why Haven't You Learned D

Name: Anonymous 2012-09-19 9:16

Why haven't you learned D, prog? It's easy to use, has amazingly powerful templates, supports many types of programming, and has an instantly recognizable syntax if you're familiar with any of the Algol-derived languages. But most important of all, it wasn't written by jews.

i am learning D

well i was
it's a brilliant language, don't get me wrong BUT there is a single problem holding it back.
IT'S IS SO POORLY DOCUMENTED.
and this is the single thing that is holding the language back, the lack of documentation for anything apart from the standard library causes the language to become completely inaccessible to anyone new to the language.

GTKD is only learnable through a bunch of code snippets and completely lacks complete tutorial

Derelict is a nightmare, not only it's a pain in the ass to get the dam thing to work in the first place but complete absence of any decent documentation makes it a huge chore to make a workable program.

D has the potential to be a brilliant language but if you want people to pick up the language you'll need to fix complete absence of documentation and tutorials for both GTK and Derelict libraries.
