Posted in reply to dnewbie | I'm almost at the point where I've been a D fanatic for half my programmer years... the time sure flies. I think I surpassed writing more D code than all other languages combined last year, taking the prize away from C. |

Posted in reply to dnewbie | I couldn't remember when I started using D, so I had to go dig in my personal diary entries until I found it... In late 2011, I had already heard of D during my search for something better than C++, but I didn't really start seriously using D until by chance I came across Andrei's TDPL at a local bookstore. That got me *really* started. Apparently my first D program was a brute-force search to discover all augmentations of a certain class of 4D shapes called duoprisms. I had a very pleasant experience with it... and as they say, the rest is history. :P --T |

Ever since I got Andrei's book, right after being published. Specially as I was disappointed to the way Go appeared to be heading.
Although I very seldom code D, actually more of a fanboy language geek.
My work is all about .NET/JVM/mobile environments and I do use a few FP languages on side projects as well.
So I tend to do more advocacy than coding in regard to D.

Posted in reply to Paulo Pinto | According to my source repository since october 2006, doing some html parser experiments and tribool/fuzzy logic, but gave up on the language because debugging was hard (not very good error messages, compiler related bugs). Then some OpenGL experiments in 2007, but gave up on the language because of the GC. Then I wrote a small tool in 2008 for optimizing PNG files using C and D (and some other stuff), but ended up with most of the code being in C (85%) because library interfacing was easier that way. Then I decided to wait for DMD2 to be ready since DMD1 appeared to have been abandoned, and I am still waiting… |

It would be 2011 or 2012, I think. I learned about it in a Linux magazin that said that "Fedora now ships with a compiler for the D programming language", just a note on the last page. The word "compiler" caught my attention (because I was sick of "portable" interpreted languages). It was in December and I checked it out over Xmas, having a few days off, and I thought "This is it, my prayers have been answered". Native on all platforms, seamlessly interfaces to C. Say no more. Ever since I've been trying to tame that beast.
