I find this as well.
D has a lot of neat and interesting features, but really the big
advantages over C++ (for me) are:
- No header files
- Closures
- Polymorphic lambdas
- Aliases
- Simple(r) templates
The biggest problem with D at the moment for me is the quality of
error messages, especially when using templates with constraints.
The best error you'll get is "can't call this function with these
arguments", and you have to go through and manually expand the
templates in your head to see what went wrong. Not fun.
