And because you have less noise (and much more and better libraries I guess :) in Python, less complexity to care about. And don't get me wrong, I love D, because it's a very expressive language and when you need speed, you need static typing and all the low-level support. They are all necessary evil. All I'm saying is, when I don't need speed and I have to do something quickly, Python is still a far better language than D, because of they inherent differences. > >I think only not having a compile cycle (no matter how fast compiling is) > >is a *huge* win.

I guess D can greatly benefit from a compiler that can compile and run a multiple-files program with one command (AFAIK rdmd only support one file programs, right?) and an interactive console that can get the ddoc documentation on the fly. But that's not very related to the language itself, I guess it's doable, the trickiest part is the interactive console, I guess... -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- La terapia no sirve: es mucho mejor pagar para hacer las perversiones que para contarlas. -- Alberto Giordano (filósofo estilista)
