In summary, the author asks if you were offered $100,000,000 for some
big software project,
While this is a "silly little hypothetical thread" (and it is Friday
afterall so that probably explains the OP), I cannot fathom that amount
being spent on just software on one project (though I've worked on one
system, i.e., software + hardware, project worth 10's of millions). Maybe
someone here can? Examples please, or give the largest one you can think
of (it can be hypothetical). Remember, it's just software, not a system.
The number is unimportant. It's just a placeholder. Could just be $100k
if that makes it easier.
It's just a thought experiment: being honest, would you use D for a
large project with high stakes?
