Hi everyone,
I am currently mulling if I should be adopting D as my (and subsequently
my company's) language of choice.
We have great experience/investment in C++, so D seems - from what I've
seen so far - as the logical step; D seems to me to be as C++ done right.
I'm also looking at Go in the

Hi folks,
What's the best way to learn D please?
Thanks.
Hi guys,
Ok - thanks for your answers.
So, I will get TDPL book - all reviewers on amazon are raving about it.
As for the Phobos class library (coz that is the D2 standard lib no?), how
can I get to grips with that? Does the book cover that? Or does the book
just cover the core language?
Is th
Hi,
Is it possible to switch off the GC entirely in D?
Can the GC be switched off completely - including within phobos?
What I am looking for is absolute control over memory management.
I've done some tests with GC on and GC off and the performance with GC is
not good enough for my requirements.
Thanks for your very quick answer Vladimir.

As I said, maybe it's time (IMHO) for D's GC to addresses - or otherwise
dropped.

That's it actually - spot on.
If only we could write 100% GC free D code... that would be it.
