It really depends entirely on what you value in the language you use. So just stating that D is worse or better than C++ without your reasons for having reached that conclusion is really next to useless information. If a strong toolchain is important to you, D loses to C++. If the ability to use some large existing C++ framework is important to you, D loses to C++. If having a language that's enjoyable to use with good performance is important to you, then D wins over C++. And so on... There are many categories in which D is behind C++, but as far as the core language goes, I would choose to use D1.0 over C++ any day. --bb
