want something advanced, modern and w/o tons of legacy cruft.
The first **may** want eager copying. The latter three almost certainly
won't.
If you believe that, you have no valid reason following/using D, with a
community like you described you can't get anywhere.
Can't speak for other languages or other people but for me if someone is
coming from C/C++, not because he sucks but the language is not enough.
If you think D is easier by margin, you are delusional. If D being so much
easier not the case why do a C user want this nonsense transition? Answer
is "Quality of life".
C/C++ has everything for a "crufty old" programmer, he doesn't need a
transition. Who needs this transition is the ones that pushing the
language limits.
Some people should really get rid of this C/C++ complex, hate..
I really hate to say this but you got to accept an average C/C++
programmer is much better than best of any higher language programmer. If
one argue against this, i got nothing else to say, he needs to wake up and
check the games he plays, the OS he uses, anything but "simple string
processing".
Thank you!
