That’s a lot of words but little actual sense. What makes you
think that this IVY™ program is the silver bullet that D
desperately needs? And not just yet another load of crap
invented by some “consulting” firm as a relatively honest way
of taking money from businesses? Because it’s sounds like one.
I agree with that, it sounds like consulting propaganda
D doesn't need more bureaucracy, it actually doesn't need at all,
D needs developers who care about enhancing the language, and
people with a vision for the future, so we can write proper stuff
- better enums
- tagged union
- pattern matching
- async
- nullable
- tuple/multiple return (deconstruction)
- allocators (don't do them as classes/interface for the love of
god)
- implement GC as an allocator
What will IVY do about that list? other than suck up time and
resources
Bunch of new languages coming, and the C part of D is still as
old as C, untouched, and the Java/C# part of D is now behind
Java/C#
