Anyone care to total up the fail points for D?
LOL. There's a lot of highly subjective stuff on that list, and
some of it seems to think that normal practices are bad, like
* Your code tries to install into /opt or /usr/local
It's pretty much _standard_ on Linux systems that make install is
going to put your stuff in /usr/local unless you told configure
to use a different PREFIX. And on FreeBSD, pretty much everything
actually gets installed in /usr/local normally anyway.
He definitely have some good points, but he has enough in there
that a _lot_ of people would disagree with on that the list
becomes pretty useless as an actual metric IMHO. And his scoring
system is going to put most projects into fail territory _very_
quickly.
An interesting read though.
