Bah, I'm not sure what this means. If you mean I advocate for things
that are perfect how they are in C/C++,
precedented by decades of use
and millions of developers,
Technically millions could be wrong as easily as a single individual, in
fact more likely so due to collective bias.
remaining as people expect them to be...
then yes.
C++ didn't get *everything* wrong, otherwise D wouldn't be so much
like C++ to begin with. __forceinline in C++ is exactly what people
want here. The behaviour is useful, and well understood; compiler will
always inline if possible, and warn if it can't. There's nothing wrong
with C++ in this case, and I wish D would just be the same.
Agreed.
