Thank you for posting a very informative example, i think not 
just myself but everyone else on this forum had completely forgot 
how class private is supposed to work. In spite of the 1000 or so 
posts you've made about it.


Keep up the good work!

I believe we are now in the "there is nothing more to be said" 
territory (just for the record, I think we both agree the 
feature is good, I just don't think the feature is necessary at 
all...nice-to-have at best. I suspect we'll agree to disagree).


Its probably more useful if you manage a team of barely competent 
idiot programmers.

That wasn't what was said. What was said was "causing US 
problems". I.e. on the whole, the lack of class-level privacy 
does not appear to be causing widespread problems, which 
implies that it's simply lower on the list of feature requests 
for most people.




Allowing mutable state to escape - the confines of the type in 
which it has been declared - into the whole of the module, will 
inevitably lead to a problem.


My first use of the D language demonstrated that this statement 
is factual.


The more 'widespread' D is used, will 'likely' also demonstrate 
the same.


What we need to do is find a way to make the computer explode 
when somebody does that. Weed out the stupid programmers. ;-)

Hi, Is there a tutorial on how to design VST's using D? I would 
like to get into vst programming using D but I've found little 
useful information.


Thanks
