Not yet, but I certainly think I will be in the future.

I'm always try to introduce some specific functionality in the architecture using interfaces (from my experience of Java).

## , I try to use them where appropriate.

I think J was trying to make a joke ;-)

Anyways, I use interfaces as much as I can get away with (which is not much yet, as I haven't written so much actual D code yet, I admit).

As an aside, I'm with Kris on the interface/class inheritance issue. I think Vathix made a very good point a bit earlier about the whole thing being an issue that stems from C++-style multiple inheritance... but D doesn't have multiple inheritance, so it seems to me that the Java approach is the more appropriate way to go.

Cheers,

i don't use them in D, simply because i don't do much D programming, and because i never used them in C++!  though i really like the concept of them, but i'm not quite clear on just what situations i'd use them in.  :)

How can one not?  Multiple inheritance is pretty much necessary, and interfaces are the only implementation of that in D.  (I much prefer Eiffel's approach...but I'm not writing the compiler.)

I certainly do. That is a big important aspect of OO programming.

I've used them a little.  E.g. in the clipboard stuff I was writing last week for SDWF 0.3.

This isn't much of a "poll", you know, despite the thread title. Most real polls have an "against" option as well as a "for" option. Otherwise it's like saying "We interviewed some unspecified number of people, and 531 of them said they like cheese". And this means...?

>I think this would be really interesting to know! Simply replying will count you in.

Then how does anyone get counted OUT? Or are you assuming that everyone who didn't reply doesn't use interfaces? But then, how do you know how many people didn't reply? Are you counting lurkers or just regular posters? What if they're on holiday?

Why not stick a /real/ poll on a Yahoo group or something, and invite us all to vote in it. I agree with you that the answer would be "really interesting to know". I just don't think you're going to find that answer on this thread.
