> I hate code like `1.writeln` Meh... after not more than my first month into D this syntax grew on me and now I just use `1.writeln` everywhere. More than a few years later, I can't think of a single issue this has ever caused me.

It's ok now, as far as I can see.

Initially coming from C++ background, e.g. I had good understanding of its ownership model with move vs copy semantics (unique_ptr vs shared_ptr), I read many Rust blogs, watched a couple of tech talks and read several chapters of the book,

You're mistaken. By default D statically links all D dependencies (leaving only libc and possibly OpenSSL (if you need it)) to be dynamically linked (which has it's advantages), but if you want you can statically link all dependen

To escape the shit show that C and C++ are in their unique ways. In my experience, one of the worst things was working on a proprietary 1M+ LoC codebase. Everything was so painful (despite the feats of engineering being put in the internal

If you have a half million codebase that you need to migrate, I would say that every heavily used Extended Pascal feature is required to be easily translatable. If it's simply possible but the translation is not direct or easy, then th

It is not described in the betterC page as these features are not new for D. The betterC page only describes the differences versus the full D feature set. Documentation for the individual features mentioned: http://dlang.org&#x2

D provides the same low-level access as C. Heck, in D you can even use inline assembly, so there are really no barriers to what you can achieve. MMaping files and casting their contents to structures is often used technique. The GC only one

D has quite good multi-dimensional array support, though probably not as flexible as Python. One of the best libraries in this area is ndslice (part of mir-algorithm) - http://docs.algorithm.dlang.io/latest/index.html .

If you're interested in high-performance scientific computing, then I guess you'll pleased to know that many use D for this domain, specifically for its high-performance and also high-level features that make prototyping as easy (

Yes, in this example, but once you start looking at more interesting pieces of code it becomes close to impossible for C beat D without heavy use of macros on the code readability front. Check the runnable examples on the front page - http

RAII in not removed by design. It is just work in progress. It will be added to -betterC when its implementation is more mature for this mode.

Can you compare your D vs Nim experience in more detail? What are the key points that you like better about Nim?

I think the main factor is that the primary contributor to GDC (Iain) made a giant push for this to happen in the last 6-12 months. Just look at this graph: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/graphs/cont
