Why they have to be "two" libraries rather than one which was designed by
larsivi, Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu ?
I haven't seen larsivi around lately. Is it possible that there's a
communication problem? Perhaps a personality mismatch?
Because of silly symbol names like 'retro' I think there's more reason for
someone to not like Phobos. Bearophile also always reminds us that a
proper closure inlining support would make collection algorithms as fast
as the ugly string template hack Phobos. That way you wouldn't have hard
coded parameter symbols like a and b.
Dictionary.com Unabridged, Based on the Random House Dictionary:
retro-
a prefix occurring in loanwords from Latin meaning “backward” (retrogress);
on this model, used in the formation of compound words (retrorocket).
So can we stop this "retro is a bad name" nonsense now?
Sure, just include a copy of, or link to, an English dictionary
alongside D documentation, together with appropriate annotations.
That's tantamount to what you are saying. imho, use of "silly"
words like this in the language are a retrograde step.
