People told me I couldn't write a C compiler, then told me I
couldn't write a C++ compiler. I'm still the only person who
has ever implemented a complete C++ compiler (C++98). Then they
all (100%) laughed at me for starting D, saying nobody would
ever use it.
My whole career is built on stepping over people who told me I
couldn't do anything and wouldn't amount to anything.
LLVM is a fine compiler, but there's nothing magical about it.
Besides, we have a secret productivity enhancing weapon that
LLVM doesn't have - D!
Now, if I can only tear myself away from the internet for a
while...
I really like your attitude! That's, IMHO, one of the strongest
selling point for D itself!
