I was able to view this AVI on Windows using the DivX codec.  Standard Window Media Player and QuickTime didn't work.

Excellent to hear, Vi still use now, great editor and has saved my bacon on more than one occasion when FreeBSD baulked on boot.

I also admit I love Emacs, though I would be lined up against the wall without a blindfold and shot for admitting this where I work.

Pity D still doesn't have a fully fledged RAD environment yet, but Descent looks promising, not sure about DWT that NG seems stagnant right now.

Yes it is simple to bang out lines of code to create windows in D, but when it comes to fine tuning control layouts RAD is a must for me.

D is gaining popularity and people at work are taking an interest, though purely from a curiosity perspective at the moment, a couple of the them have it installed at home.

D is like C# on steroids Sharp is to C as Razor to D.

I also like D in that it is much simpler to grind the Metal with D than C# weather good or bad sometimes it is required.

Also I like that it is not a requirement to make everything a class in D again sometimes a plain function will do and though there are structs in C# IMHO a function when you only need a function will require less overhead than creating even a value type struct.

There were actually two quite annoying guys. Then there was this great guy with a Romanian accent who tried to prevent them from trolling as much as he could. Ahem. :o)

Same here. (Checks.) Oh, I cut it off ten years ago :o).

Does size matter in these things?  :-)

I'm in the process of growing mine again.

Have you looked at the wxWidgets GUI, and the Code::Blocks IDE ?

It better! That was some hard work, letting the hair grow for such a long time. :)

Great presentation, I really like how people try to stick with their language just because it can do the same things. (there is good reason we don't use assembly to program)
