I'm not talking especially about Quora, even if I admit that it's
on this forum that somebody advised me to learn D to improve my
object oriented programming skills.
I'm just saying that I think that D is de facto one of the best
languages for beginners like me.
A lot better than most mainstream language these forum are always
promoting as the best starting programming language.
So it's sad that D is ignored by so many young programmers,
because when they do some research on google, like I did, there
are too little chance they will find this advice.
D is mainly known as a system programming language because it's
indeed "C++ done well". But that's probably not enough to
convince C++ addicts to try D, especially because of the garbage
collector.
But D is a great alternative to mainstream garbage collected
languages like Java, C#, Javascript, PHP, etc.
I think it should instead be advertised as the perfect language
to learn programming and web development, because that's where it
really shines, IMHO.
