Haven't used it but it seems like an improvement over the mixed mess that is C++.

>>58902291
Rust is better, D tried but it failed.

It could've been great.

Excellent language.

All the best parts of C and C++, without the bad parts. Syntax is far cleaner, GC is optional with multiple community-made allocators available, module system is top-tier, scope guards help with deallocation and lifetimes, far better code generation and conditional compilation tools.

As for it versus Rust, it definitely has a cleaner syntax (Rust's can be too dense), it handles strings far better, and the choice of GC versus manual allocation with scope guards to help goes a long way to near-parity with Rust without needed the entire language to be built around it.

Also, D isn't centrally and chiefly an object-oriented language, it's imperative. That means you don't need fucking singletons and factories; you can simply have a function in a module/namespace. Java and C# are fucking retarded like that.

Posting my simple thread example from that last C thread.

Looks pretty nice desu

The lack of a clear vision from the beginning. Oh well, they had their chance, but you can only fuck up that much until you get forgotten.

Given it will all work out, it will be Rust for strict system programming and Jai for fun system programming.

That said, at least Bright isn't in complete denial, unlike the creator of Eiffel.

It's shit. Nobody uses it.

std.stdio

I know why it is this way, but still this looks retarded.

>>58906096
The first std is the Phobos standard library.

stdio is system standard IO, same as in C, and C++.

>>58905370
D is incorporating the only useful features of Rust and will do them in a way that doesn't have awful syntax. There is no reason for Rust to exist.

seriously needs more native libs

the language itself is really nice desu

nice non-argument
