I think that's great. But it requires a lot of work (as of course you
know).
Good things require a lot of work. :)
Of course. But getting something done and available in a short amount of
time is also good!
For example, some people say to me "why should I use D, when C++0x
solves my issues with C++?"
And I point out "how many more years are you willing to wait for C++0x,
when D is here now?"
[Setting aside for the moment the issue of whether C++0x really is
better than D or not!]
The point is, good enough now gets us further down the road of getting a
user base large enough to justify the effort for a more comprehensive
solution.
I think descent is really good now.
For example, if I have many miles to commute to work, the best choice is
a car. But if I can't afford a car, or am too young to drive, a bike at
least gets me there. Before I was 16 and could drive, a bike was very
liberating for me, I rode it everywhere.
