For me, my source is my microbenchmarks, which are testing just loop with computation, i.e compute intensive data parallel.

If C is the only viable language why has Java got the majority of the commercial market. C++ and Fortran have the vast majority of the computational world. > If all this is true, where are the video games written in these > languages that rival performance/fidelity of AAA titles? I've > never seen that. Ever. Where is D is this arena. It is either C++ or C++ in the high performance graphics arena. If there are no AAA titles written in D why does this email list have anyone on it? Clearly I think your response is just trolling, I will stop feeding the troll. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
