Would be nice if "coherent ownership semantics" could be added to the list of things D does better than C++17

Please make a PR since I don't get how D does "coherent ownership semantics" better than C++. deadalnix tried to explain to me but I don't get it. C++ feels very coherent to me.

Soon as you post a direct link -> all votes go to spam. Basically any direct link to a HN article compromises the article. -- Andrei

Too late, it's already dropped to 142. Between this ridiculous ranking system, shadow banning, the faux intellectualism, and the cult of Paul Graham, HN probably has to be one of the worst tech communities on the internet.

The post was on the front page for many hours, which is a lot more than how long the average link lasts. With 128 upvotes, it did very well, so your negativity is unwarranted.

Like probably everyone else here, I regularly read Hacker News. However, some of their policies can be quite frustrating.
