Re: Microsoft working on new systems language

This is interesting but: - they don't talk about generic code? - it's not clear if their language solves the build time issue C++ have (which D solves) - if it's not a totally open language specification, then it's a dead-end to me.

Re: SteamOS, games programming, and D

A Unity-like or D implementation of Unity would be cool but really D on SteamOS needs 2 things: 1. stable engines for each part of a game-specific engine: I'm making a game right now that really can't be developped using Unity without totally fightining it so I use a combination of Ogre, Rak

Re: C++ guys hate static_if?

Just for complete information, the static_if feature isn't rejected but discussion/effort on it is now delayed. See minutes: http://isocpp.org/files/papers/N3576.pdf My understanding is that focusing on concepts(-light) is a priority for this working group now. Walter was in the meeting so he got

Re: Is D Language mature for MMORPG Client ?

theory, because I cannot afford to deal with problems coming from it's implementation (maybe for future games though). However, once stability is complete (on both compiler and standard library), at least with a fixed version I could use it IF there would be at least graphic and audio rendering engines available. If not I would have to do extra work I don't really have the time to deal with so it would be required for me (I said the same in another thread). Anyway, I wish D gets to the point I can finally use it in real context. C++ is good enough for me right now though. A game developer. Joel Lamotte - Klaim

xt mr Alexandrescu says there are several layers or something similar. Am I correct? Also, I would like to find a page on the website that list clearly what is in each subset. I couldn t find it so far but maybe I m not using the right words to search. Thanks Klaim / Joel Lamotte

Hi, here are my random 2 cents about the gamedev point, as someone who have worked in the game industry and will get to full-indie gamedev in the future : A. C# is used a lot in the industry because : 1. It's easier to code with than C++ and with decent performance; 2. It's hugely easy to setup
