Any migration has to be to Java 7. > Product deployment in the enterprise world is a pain. Only because of bad planning or decision making. The analogies for D are clear. The conclusion is that we need to find resource to ensure the GDC and LDC folks are supporting the same version of D that DMD is supporting at any time. Currently DMD is at 2.059 whilst GDC is at 2.057. Not a planning problem as far as I am aware, just a resource problem: i.e. not enough people paid, directly or indirectly to work on these compilers. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
