It's also remarkably consistent in style with the other troll posts here, and totally unlike Bjarne's style. I would say that is a very hard thing to pull off. I know a guy who got pasted enough in an online forum that he "disappeared" and re-emerged a while later under a new pseudonym. He got outed within a couple days, and accused me of ratting him out to the other forum members. I told him that was hardly necessary, as I pointed out that he often used some unique stock phrases, and repeated them under his new name. Everyone immediately knew it was him. He did a few more name changes, and tried pretty hard to hide his style, but people always caught on. He finally gave up and just accepted that people knew who he was, and he got gently ribbed about it now and then.

Re: D is dead, so now where it the money going?
Hello JamesKan, Clearly the OP doesn't know what he's talking about so the following is mostly for the rest of us. There is no money in D. Well Duh! We all known that. Name a language that (directly) made it's creators money. (Hit: MS *gives way* the C# compiler.) The money is in the tools (and going on the talking circuit). -- ... <

To all: This guy's just going to keep posting more of this stuff under more fake names if we keep feeding him. It's not like anyone's ever going to successfully appeal to a troll's sense of reason, as there clearly is none.

SD, There was not an ounce of reason in my post, just a gut response. Had I been as eloquent as you I might have used the 'asstodeepthroater' term instead of prat - next time perhaps.

Light bulb (!!!): D is a circle jerk! (Not that there's anything wrong with that)." It has a similar tone. Why would someone be so bitter and write so badly? Even if it were the case that D was not really any more than a discussion group for ideas about compiler design, it would still be a worthwhile exercise. Walter has been contributing to the industry for years, and anyone who has done that in the way he has will have experienced ups and downs. He's the last person I know who I would describe as money-grabbing. If Andrei wants to risk all the work it takes to get a book published, and he's bet on a particular horse, then whichever way it goes, that's his own choice. Since when was there an unwritten rule that you can't do speculative technical work with a view to making some money in the future. If people hadn't done that many times we would barely have computers and computer languages at all! I'd put it more bluntly than some (not to you Pelle) - piss off you anonymous prat, or be clear about your identity then we can all judge your motives. Steve

Whenever you go everything appears the same? Here's an idea: go some place else! yep it sure looks like it, why the hate? For sure it is possible to use D fruitfully (I hope that I am doing that). I cannot talk too much about D 2.0 because I participated on discussions mostly as outsider (i.e. non D 2.0 user), but I sure think that there are improvements in D 2.0. I don't agree with all changes, and I think that D 2.0 is not yet ready for me, and D1.0 is quite good already, and I like its stability (even it also botches sometime). Still freezing D2 is for sure not a bad thing, and if the book contributes to that then good... Fawzi
