Joakim has put together an interview with Walter that's all about D. It's an enjoyable read. You can parse the interview at [1] and visit the reddit thread at [2]. I anticipate publishing more of Joakim's interviews on the blog in the future.

Some of the links have pretty long text, is that intended? For example:

"an early developer of C++ compilers starting from the mid-’80s, including the first C++ compiler to translate source code directly to object code without using C as an intermediate"

All that is one link.

It's also on Hacker News, but access it via the front page rather than this URL, otherwise up/downvotes will not count:

Yes. Joakim submitted the text with the links already formatted and I left them in place.

From the article:

D arrays are a great example of simple, but not easy. For details see the Slices article section "Determinism". https://dlang.org/d-array-article.html
