Do the PS2, GameCube and Xbox filesystems all have identical

Guess ;)
And, did any of the paths in your game exceed 260 characters in

No. But the suggested GetPhysicalPath() solution would also work
equally well in this case.
These comparisons are not helpful.
There will always be inherent differences between platforms,
because they are wildly different.
Right.
Technically the PS2 console, the GameCube and the Xbox console

this "modern system programming language" that is C++ done
right, I would dismiss D very quickly. We need to get together

Its called necro-posting.
I'm surprised that post isn't read-only.
Call it like you want, but I ee people putting new
answers/comments to years old posts all the times, as it's
perfectly legitimate on many blogs and websites.

That is 6 years old. It would not help anybody to comment.
Have you noticed that when you "google" something related to
programming, the first results are often pages which are several
years old ?
If I understand you well, you are telling me to let these pages
unchanged.
We shouldn't tel
Or more likely some community members who have the privileges

important than actual technical reasons.
I suggest that you try to talk about D here :

For instance, D is my favorite language, and I try to promote it
as much as I can (reddit, stackoverflow, even on the go-nuts
google groups).
But professionally I still use C++ (#3 TIOBE), PHP (#7), Go (#16)
and now Dart (#20).
Not D.
Despite Go and Dart are very recent "post-D" languages,
Very interesting post.
My bachelor's thesis was a expert system for stock trading
implemented with Borland C++ 1.0, and D would have been a good
fit as well if had been an option in 1989, so I understand why
you think that financial development will make D popular.
But that's the exact oppos

It is more about marketing. Maybe Go is not a perfect language,
maybe not even a good one, but it's sold so good because of a
good marketing
So, calling D a "better C++" is a bad advertisement. But if you

I'm already following both of your advices.
But D doesn't have to prove anything to become more popular.
It just needs to have a better competitive advantage.
And it almost has it.

the only thing missing is that "we have more language than

D is a better language, but advertising it for that is not what

IMHO, the curent D language and standard libraries are fine

Dan has been looking for someone to take over the iOS port,

So now, the only remaining android issue for DlangUI is an

In a few days I will try to develop a small mobile application

At first I wanted to implement it in D, but I quickly came to the

Now I'm in the process of trying both Dart and Haxe.

So what you really want is: signed array lengths. You only have
a use for the sloppy conversion, because D doesn't have signed
array lengths.
Yes and no. Signed safety is better, but the current behavior
works too.
