Same to you.
I'm going to just be a little frank with you here.
I've _never_ had even a slightly productive conversation with
you. You're hostile to work with. I know you have some valuable
things to say and contribute to the community, but its just too
difficult to work with you.
Sorry, most of my responses are really short because I'm working
on other things at the moment.
I'm just trying to say a few sentences to make a point and go
back to what I'm doing, but it's not going as well as I would
have hoped.
If you'd make some effort at being less antagonistic, you'd
find you'd get much further.
Like I said in my previous large post, there are solutions out
there we could talk about, but you won't hear it.
It's because you're solving a different problem than the one I'm
mentioning.
I'm telling you the problem (struct == behavior is wrong), you're
telling me there is a workaround (tuples).
I'm not looking for a workaround, I already know enough
workarounds for it.
I'm just trying to tell you it's a _workaround_ to a _problem_.
The fact that it exists doesn't make the problem go away.
Heck, you essentially didn't even acknowledge the vast majority
of what I had to say in my last large post.
Honestly, out of all the things I said, you also picked and chose
single one to give nonsensical replies to.
I said C and C++ and VB.NET and Matlab etc., and you just replied
with "C struct doesn't even have ==".
Not only did you completely miss my first point there (why aren't
other languages doing the same thing?), you also missed my second
point:
If == doesn't make sense, it shouldn't be defined at all.
I had plenty of neat potential solutions, but they don't even
get a slight consideration on your part. What a waste of time.
Again, my purpose in mentioning this wasn't to look for a
workaround, but to point out the problem itself, see above.
I'm not having trouble finding workarounds, I'm just pointing out
examples of why people aren't finding D usable (or why they
consider it broken).
