What about stop flaming and do some research on this.
Create some questionnare of some sort and ask D lang
developers what was hard for them while learning. What they
found difficult about language and then try to improve based
on some data instead of shooting blindly.
and the first questions should be "what other languages do you
know?"
"what other languages do you like?"
i, for example, found compile-time code generation easy, as i
love
Scheme. the same with "function (template, actually) should
accept any
type which conforms to the protocol" conception.
some of my mates are hardcore C programmers, and i see that
it's hard
for them to change their style: they tend to write "classic
OOP" code
instead of "protocol contracts", avoid nested functions and
delegates.
what i'm trying to say is that "language of choise" matters
here, so
survey must clearly ask about that.
I meant more to focus only on D. Like : "What do you have most
difficulty with while learning language/you were learning
langeuage?" "What do you consider most confusing part of D
library/language features." etc...
I personally, have problems with: Endless confusion about
class/struct. endless confussion about array slices. String
details. Lack of enough practical examples on library packages...
On the other hand I don't feel that templates are so hard. That's
actually why i started to learn D.
