:-)Ali, you made my day!
Actually, there are references to D in that article. One of those is
even about considering D as an "alternative". An excerpt from page 10:

Harmonia and the GC
Do you guys remember 'Harmonia' ? A promising GUI-tool once developed in D1 by Andrew Fedoniouk. [1,2,3] Unfortunately he stopped the development long time ago and changed his tools. The reasoning is now explained in his recent blog post [4] Interesting (regarding the recent GC-discussion here), because he also talks about GC and and discusses briefly, which parts of his engine needs the GC and for which other part it does harm. Now he is back at C++ combined with the js-like TIScript. I wonder, whether he would rethink his decision, if could start with D2. -- Christof [1] http://harmonia.terrainformatica.com/map.html [2] http://harmonia.terrainformatica.com/Harmonia.source.119.zip [3] http://harmonia.terrainformatica.com/HarmoniaDemo.zip [4] http://www.terrainformatica.com/index.php/2014/07/10-years-road-to-sciter/

I have also tried to design something myself (although I'm not a designer) and this is what I came up with: http://krcko.net/dlang.org/dlang-home-draft1.png I'm not entirely satisfied with it but I believe that it looks better (or at least more modern) than the current design. So, what do you guys think? A good start! +1

Re: Finally full multidimensional arrays support in D
I looked to the doku-page and expected to see, how some basic matrix-operations could be performed. Like e.g. (basic syntax) this: Dim a(10,12) a(3,4) = 7 a(i,j) = a(j,i) * 12 Instead I found exotic assignments and calculations. Did I expect the wrong thing?

Re: simultaneous multiple key sorting algorithm
>>> The brute force approach would essentially compute the two ranks and >>> then sort by their sum. That's three sorts and at least one temporary I think, you are mixing two problem levels: Level one (theory): How are the two properties weighted against each other and can be combined to a total weight (a weight-function). Level two (programming): how can this be expressed in an optimal algorithmical way, given D2. Your question suggests, the the (naive) sum-function is already the solution to level one. But I suspect, that the solution for the problem requires rather to find a proper weight function than a combinatation-algorithm. Christof

Re: goto
In the web-source of hius adventure-game http://www-cs-staff.stanford.edu/~uno/programs/advent.w.gz Knuth comments (resp. warns the reader): "By the way, if you don't like |goto| statements, don't read this. (And don't read any other programs that simulate multistate systems.)" Don Knuth, September 1998 This may be dated. But while I cannot judge the reasoning, I did not want to miss to post it here. At least for its subtle humor. Christof
