There is a derived site that generates the rant for you: http://mashedtaters.net/var/language_checklist.php Below there is a possible result about D :-) Bye, bearophile ----------------------- You appear to be advocating a new "multi-paradigm" and statically-typed programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work. You appear to believe that that garbage collection is free, that nobody really needs a REPL, that convincing programmers to adopt a new language will be easy and that specifying behaviors as "undefined" means that programmers won't rely on them. Unfortunately, your language has implicit type conversion, has goto, lacks multiple inheritance, lacks algebraic datatypes, lacks covariant array typing, lacks monads, lacks dependent types, lacks call-by-name and lacks call-cc. The following philosophical objections apply: * The most significant program written in your language isn't even its own compiler * Your type system is unsound * The name of your language makes it impossible to find on Google * Compiled languages will never be "extensible" Additionally, your marketing has the following problems: * Noone really believes that your language is faster than C. Taking the wider ecosystem into account, I would like to note that we already have an unsafe imperative language and you have reinvented C++ but worse. In conclusion, I think you have some interesting ideas, but this won't fly. -----------------------
