So
How do you use D?
I've been using D for most of my personal projects since 2011.
In work, (key projects or smaller side projects)
Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to introduce a new
language in my position at work, but I use D regularly for small
text processing tools. I need to rip apart and/or reformat text
files regularly; I used to use Perl but I find D to be as good or
better for this job than Perl, and faster as well.
in your side project, (github, links please)
Recently I've been working on a Discord bot and a small game (not
on github), both using D libraries of course.
just to learn something new? (I would easily argue that
learning D will make you a better C++ programmer, maybe not the
most efficient way, but I a sure it i very effective)
I've learned about everything from programming language design to
type theory to algorithm design to low-level programming just
from participating in the D community over the past 6 years.
There's no question that learning D has made me a better
programmer and introduced me to concepts that I would not have
been aware of otherwise.
Did you introduce D to your work place? How? What challenges
did you face?
I would love to introduce D to my work place but it's not really
possible.
What is you D setup at work, which compiler, which IDE?
Plain old Sublime Text with DCD/dscanner/dfmt. I used to heavily
use Visual Studio with the visual-d plugin but I wanted something
more light weight.
