What D unique shows is, however, that one can do C++ like things without
the C++ issues, in other words, the problems C++ has are not necessary
in order to get the powerful things C++ can do.
Well put. BTW I'm glad to see retard back in action. A small debate of
bearophile about bounds checking and whatnot, Bruno doing his monthly
bulk answering to posts, retard being down on D... it all starts looking
like a good day on digitalmars.D :o).
