Yes, here is a summary of programming languages killer features.C - The official language to develop for Unix C++ - Provided a path for OOP programming to C developers, created at the same company that "owned" Unix Pascal - Provided a very good way to learn structured programming Perl - Was a the right place for mixing shell scripting and text manipulation Python - Started as a better Perl, Zope helped it get known, now used in HPC to script applications Javascript - If it wasn't for the browser it wouldn't be used at all Ruby - Without Rails, people still wouln't care about it, most likely Groovy - Provided a Ruby like programming environment for programmers in the Java world Objective-C - The official way to develop for iPhone/iPad (for sure it counts more than just OSX) Java - Oracle(Sun) and IBM give huge support to it. Plus the way it is used in universities around the world C# - Microsoft is making it the official .Net systems language Scala - Seems to be the next big language in the JVM Haskell, F# - Multicore is making functional programming more mainstream. Plus Microsoft money. There are probably more examples, that I have forgotten. So the question is, what could the D killer feature be? -- Paulo
Being better than all of the above. But that's just, like, my opinion. :-)
