Yes, but when you try to make people move to a different language, you have to do considerably better. When I have to choose between something well know, well supported and mature and something that is, at least, unknown (even if it's mature and well supported, I won't know that until I use it a lot so is a risk), I want to be really good, not just barely good. Details as this one are not deal breaker on their own, but when they are a lot, it tends to make the language look ugly as a whole. What bugs me the most is there are a lot of new constructs in the language that are plain ugly, from the start. D is buying it's own baggage (__traits, enum for manifest constants, now the case range, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else) with no reason... -- Leandro Lucarella (luca) | Blog colectivo: http://www.mazziblog.com.ar/blog/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
