Const is one of the major features being worked on. There's huge
threads about it in the newsgroup :) Last I read there are going

My general sense is that performance hasn't improved drastically. I

I definitely have a number of gripes with the language, but it's not
enough to stop me from trying it out. I didn't realize changes occurred
so quickly, but I don't think they break old code very frequently. Most
changes appear to be bug fixes or additions to the language.
Here's my list of
I did not realize that D was changing this fast. But I don't
have a problem with that yet - as long as the changes are clear
improvements which presumably they are.
You said this:
I'd also say that using C when a sane alternative
keeps you within 1.5 the speed of C is nuts, but

I've been following D via their newsgroups. The "1.0" version was a
joke. The long wait and big coming out par

Hi Jason,
I'm very interested in how this works out - I am a big fan of D.
I haven't quite take the full plunge - Lazarus is still in C since
I discovered the optimizations in D are not quite state of the art.
I have learned that recent releases are already better in this area
and D is one of t
I'm doing a redesign of HouseBot and rewriting it in D instead of C++.
Since there was past interest in the D language on this list, I figured
I'd advertise the switch-over. I'm not at the code writing stage yet
because I'm trying to do a proper (re)design.
If the move to D is enough to attr
