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).
I use D with the Vim plugin, Dutyl. The installation of
dependences is somewhat manual but once it installed it works
perfectly well. Compared with the Go plugin the only thing that I
miss is auto downloading of dependences; maybe I'll try to make a
PR tonight.
The original poster attitude to the exclamation sounds incredibly
disproportionate. Replies were friendly until that point. As
another newcomer newcomer, sounds like another Rust user
extending the Crusade, but maybe is just me.
