Though this post may seem long, my questions are indeed asked. I
just kinda started typing and didn't stop; I guess this is both a
question post and a vent post. Please bear with me.
Hello, I'm a hobbyist programmer, and I'm tired of the way things
are going. I'm looking for a change.
I must a

Okay, down to the questions I have about D:
- Why should I use D over another language? What general

D does not have any separation between header and code files like
C or C++. There are files with the .di extension which are
similar, but not quite the same. What he meant is that

D code that needs to use a C library must use "D bindings" of that C
library. Here is Deimos, a collection of D bindings of many C libraries:

What exactly is the difference between C and D headers?
D itself does not use headers at all. But you will need "D
headers", if you want to call a C library from D. The translation
is mostly syntatic and straight forward like:
* replace #define-constants with enums
* replace macros with (templa

Yeah I found that out already; I have schoolwork to do but D is
really interesting and stuff and argh.
I think one of the things I also like about D so far is the
community.

I could kinda tell from both the URL and the "Posting to
digitalmars.D.learn" line.
I've never used a newsgroup before, cool.
This topic mentions IMHO an important point: D is not only
interesting for C++ people, but also for Java developers.
Companies that are happy with Java may have little incentive to
change to D or maybe Go. But when starting something new D can be
an alternative to Java as it also can be used fo
