So LinkedIn invited me to write an article.... yeah, yeah, I
know, they invite everybody and their brother.
But I figure this could be useful.
I want to be programming in D for my next project.
And that will only happen if corporate ecosystem around me starts
adopting it.
So I plan to write an article for them, and put a bit of effort
and polish in to it.
I have been digesting every dconf2014 video posted so far.
Really excellent points in many of them, especially in the
compile time reflection and tiny ubiquitous machines talks.
So this is a call for input... there is a lot of good material on
dlang.org, which I will use (steal) shamelessly.
Any other good blog posts / social media comments / pointers I
can digest and use?
The hard fact is it wouldn't be so urgent to move to D if C/C++
didn't hurt so much.
Walter and Andrei are very nice peacable guys, they very sensibly
concentrate on selling the good points of D, rather than slagging
the weak points of C/C++.
I'm on the other side of the fence.
I live the pain of C/C++ and have no qualms about pointing them
out.
So pointers to sound reasoned analysis of the problems of
C/C++/Java are welcome too.
I might put a bit of an embedded device slant on the whole thing,
since...
* That is part of my personal core competance.
* That is where the greatest growth in the computer industry will
happen.
* That is where there is a very strong case for D replacing C/C++.
Once I have digested any links/ideas you guys have... I will post
a draft for you guys to review / comment on.
