So programming was basically around all my life.
I do a small job in his company and my next task was to learn
D. There are two trainees and the three of us have to learn D.
Ofc the two trainees have to learn other languages as well.
My dad said the reason why we learn this language is that he
personally finds it to be a very intuitive language that
produces machine code. If he just wanted us to teach
programming he said he'd just told us to learn C#.
In addition to that he wants to keep up and always have new
languages and features in the company (only 8 people). And
since we have experts for almost any language here but not a
single one for D, it was time for someone to start!
Once I started I found it to be really interesting and
challenging plus I like solving problems.
Thank you for being so nice! I have seen very few communities
where beginners are welcomed so well!
Very interesting indeed! Care to write an article about it one
day? "Learning D as an absolute beginner" or something like that.
I wonder, is your father's company listed among those using D? I
think there's a list somewhere on Wiki, if not we should have one
:-)
