One note about Walter's older C/C++ transition articles. They
have good
information on transition technicalities (e.g. "how do I do
this thing
in D that I used to do in C++?") but not a lot about the
changes in
coding style - making object copying not arbitrarily
expensive, choosing
struct vs. class, preferring pipelines and lazy to eager
computation,
etc. From what I see some folks come from C++, write their
first D
program in a stilted C++ idiom, and are left with the
impression that
the work is not worth the trouble.
I could add something for Ruby but I'm not really sure what to
add. The the content for the existing languages is quite
different compared with each other.
This is a wiki, so do it the way you want.
Personnaly for the Delphi/Pascal section i haven't followed any
previous model (except for the `pascal way` or the D way`) but
i've rather choosen to focus on ambiguities and similarities...
Just do it and if someone comes with a better solution he can
delete everything. It'a wiki.
