  If it's an article that hasn't been updated since 2001 sure. But this has been updated fairly recently, in this year.

        DIP1021 is one step toward a larger goal outlined in the blog post 'Ownership and Borrowing in D'. What are the next steps? https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/accepted/DIP1021.md https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/accepted/DIP1...

          A prototype for the O/B system: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10586 https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10586

            This is really fascinating, are there some benefits you foresee of this addition to D? I know the O/B system has been popularized by Rust, but have not really thought about it outside of Rust, is this an efforts towards -betterC or will it be used towards those efforts?
            • WalterBright 7y ago
              An O/B system is a way to: 1. eliminate double frees 2. eliminate use-after-free 3. eliminate memory leaks 4. using undefined pointers when using explicit memory management like malloc/free. Any D application, including DasBetterC, that uses explicit memory management can benefit from it.
