What do you think are the worst parts of D?
1. The whining in the forums.
2. Lacks focus on a dedicated application area.
3. No strategy for getting more people on board.
4. No visible roadmap.
Not really a problem with the language. Just problems.
5. Too much focus on retaining C semantics (go does a bit
better)
6. Inconsistencies and hacks (too many low hanging fruits)
7. More hacks are being added rather than removing existing
ones.
Definitely can agree, I think it has to do with the sentiment
that it is "too much like C++"
It's really needed to keep C++-compatible as possible otherwise
too few people are going to use it. If C++ wasn't C-compatible do
you think it would be a successfully language it is today? I
don't think so.
