>The problem I see with D is that Walter has mostly experience with C/C++. >The features inherited from those languages tend to work much better in D. Is it really the problem? I think the original idea was to have better alternative to C/C++, and D 2.0 looks good in that respect; and D has good chance to be welcomed by C/C++ folks since (almost) no learning is required.
The "ambitious" features of D sometimes do not look well polished, (I could be wrong), and other than the talks at Google I could not find any material about advanced features, directions and design principles (will really appreciate if someone can give me pointers to such materials, if it exists). I hope TDPL book will cover D's design principles and (if it makes sense) may be compare D'd advanced/ambitious features to other languages/approaches. I like the concurrency chapter, it is great that memory model is discussed and comparison with other languages is presented.
