Does C#
have access to inline assembler? Agreed, it doesn't provide many new
high level features compared to D, but it doesn't have all the
interfaces with raw metal. That makes it higher level language in my
book. It's less dependent on the hardware platform.
You mean, C# doesn't provide access to the lower level constructs? IMO
D is at the same level even if it does provide inline assembler. The
simple fact is, you don't *have* to use low level features of D, you can
stick to the C#-level constructs. Hell, you can even write full useful
programs in D without ever touching a pointer or inline assembler.
Being a higher level language isn't some positive optimum. I guess part
of the reason you disagree is that you take everything personally if
someone is critical towards D. My personal opinion is that D is in many
cases a *better* language than C# and one of the reasons is that it's a
lower level language. You can find one definition here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_programming_language
Let me provide silly pictures. Ascii, of course.
D C#
--- --- <-- high level
| |

--- <-- low level
D providing lower level features may make it a lower level language, but
it also might not. :-)
DISCLAIMER: I am wrong.
You know, people who like D come to this newsgroup for suggestions,
answers, and discussion... about D!
So you are surprised when people here post positive things about D? You
know, you are right. We're all brainwashed, and I think you just saved
us.
The logic often goes:
if (post.sender == "retard"&& post.criticizes("D")) poster.sender.isWrong
= true;
No matter what I say, I'm always wrong. Even quotes from encyclopedias or
research papers are more wrong when I share them.
I, for one, think that treating you offensively is silly and wrong.
Critizising D is a good thing to do.
