I wonder what kind of programming people plan or _hope_ to use
D for in 2016?
Do you have plans to:
1. migrate legacy C++ code bases to D when C++ bindings are
final?
2. integrate with numerical solutions like TensorFlow?
3. create web services with vibe.d?
4. run D apps in the cloud?
5. run D apps on mobile?
6. create runtime less programs (games, embedded)?
7. work on the D language/phobos ?
8. or something else?
What other languages do you think you will use or toy with in
2016 and for what purpose?
What would it take for you to use D instead, or what changes
would be needed for you to move from language X to D?
I plan on using the new Android support to build a mobile app
entirely in D, with some components running on the server, ie
"cloud," at least initially. I'll probably bind to some existing
C libraries, but no C++. Hopefully I'm done working on the
language/phobos, as most of the Android support is in, and I
don't have anything else to add.
I don't anticipate nor want to use any other language, but I
suspect I'll be forced to call some minimal Java through JNI, for
a few native Android APIs that are Java-only and that I might
need.
