Re: A look at the D programming language by Ferdynand Górski

Cool article.

Most of my favorite features are just skipped but hey, you can't 
cover everything in an overview! Plus, every new article 
describing D's is important.


What's he saying about delete being deprecated? Is that true? 
Are we talking about that delete:


class {
  new( size_t size ) { ... }
  delete( void * v ) { ... }

}

Or the global one he uses? Personally, I would like the delete 
operator to continue to exist, just to explicitly delete objects 
when needed (although scope objects works fine in most cases).

I meant scope objects work fine in most cases, but sometimes its 
good to explicitly delete objects on the heap.

Anyone knows when the new version will be available for download? 
An E.T.A. would be fine.


Thanks!
