My main concern with .NET is portability and performance. I am
going to give in to the portability and just assume Mono is
good enough. Performance wise, I'd prefer D, but .NET is
performant enough for most apps. Maybe in a few years things
will change, I can't wait that long. Sorry guys! (not that you
will miss me)
OK, the frustration is understandable. D is good enough to
impress in short-run but has problems damaging itself in the long
run. This leads to impression -> frustration cycle.
However, one point regarding portability. It is wrong to target
cross - platform project by *assuming* that Mono is good enough.
Either you need portability and you care what Mono does, or you
don't. But then it is irrelevant what happens in Linux.
By the way, it seems you started from .Net from the very
beginning. It is unclear why you considered D in such
circumstances (of course, except portability, but it seems you
actually don't need it).
Last point. You mentioned performance. Did you run benchmarks?
