I mean, where are the battles with C++ headers and implementation files ? with mutual dependencies ? insane compile times ? memory management, null pointers and crashes ? template magic to avoid name conflicts ? I already miss them...

:-) I am only joking, of course. D significantly reduces development time, to the point that it is ...almost boring!!!

Whenever you feel it is too boring you could start to write an module in brainfuck or another less boring language *G*

hehe yeah i espcecially love the lightning fast compile times of D - truly marvelous :)

Yeah, me too. 75  files compile faster than it takes me to cross-my-fingers <g>

Empire in D takes less than half as long to compile as the same code in C++. (Both are optimized builds.) This is illuminating, since the identical optimizer, code gen, and linker are used. The difference is the front end speed.

Mmh. If you want have fun programming try Unlambda! :> http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/unlambda/
