One only need to read past messages on this forum to see the
exact same issue over and over again. People mention issues
and the standard response: "Why do you not do x" or act with a
sense of superiority.
Thanks for your comments. I agree we should improve the tone in
our community. I have also gotten much feedback recently about
the first five minutes experience, even before getting to hefty
propositions like authoring an IDE (or plugin). There will be
changes in that area coming soon. All points are well taken.
Thanks! -- Andrei
Well, I recently tried to get C++ working on windows (Trying to
learn it too along with D).
I can say that unless you use Visual Studio, it is a real pain to
make any other environment working on it. I can't understand
_why_ there are different implementations of the C++ standard
library and they are not compatible with every compiler. It's
like if LDC, GDC and DMD had their own standard library and
"peace out".
It was really a terrible experience. Thankfully, D is really much
simpler to get working (if we don't use Visual Studio).
