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.
OK.

Honestly, out of all the things I said, you also picked and

I said C and C++ and VB.NET and Matlab etc., and you just
replied with "C struct doesn't even have ==".
I'm just replying to this because I wanted to make it clear
what I did:
I booted up a Linux VM and wrote a quick program to try to
understand where you were coming from, taking a painstaking
effort to try to understand you and the context of what you're
trying to say. I didn't respond to all of the other languages
because I was immediately confused by the result of the first
and, additionally, trying all of the above languages would be
fairly time consuming. My apologies for not trying all of them.
My intention was for good when I did it, so I hope that's
enough to earn forgiveness for "picking and choosing a single
one to give nonsensical replies to". :-\
Haha okay no worries, sorry my replies weren't terribly friendly.
Btw there's www.ideone.com, you can also try some things there.
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.
Also, your second point wasn't missed. It simply didn't exist
before I had started trying the C code.
Sorry I didn't realize that. :( Hope it makes sense now.
TBH, I think this would be a better solution. But I'd bet it'd
break way too much code now.
I think if D wants to go anywhere, code will have to be broken,
lots of it.
No one's going to like it, but when it has broken features to
begin with then it's not going to go very far in terms of
usability.
