The D Programming Language

Posted by michael on from the whiter-whites-and-brighter-colors dept.

dereferenced writes: "Walter Bright, author of the original Zortech C++ Compiler and the free (as in beer) Digital Mars C/C++ Compiler, has posted a draft specification for a new programming language that he describes as "a successor to C and C++". It seems to me that most of the "new" programming languages fall into one of two categories: Those from academia with radical new paradigms and those from large corporations with a focus on RAD and the web. Maybe its time for a new language born out of practical experience implementing compilers."

    Although you people will most likely mark me as one. I'm posting as a dirty loathful AC because I know none of you will agree with me. Oh well.

    Fuck D and fuck C++. Go back to cold raw C people! We're supposed to like programming! It's supposed to be in our blood!

    This isn't about making money. It's about creating something beautiful. Something so complex and amazing that only few can understand it's purity. So shut the fuck up and stop bitching about how hard your lives as programmers are.
