And more yet that he has being struggling with this for 5 years. Reminds me of this CppCon talk by Andrei Alexandrescu that was posted in the community Discord recently: https://youtu.be/va9I2qivBOA Once you get through all of the background material in the first half, the payoff is...a bunch of clever workarounds for the fact that C++ doesn't have static foreach. Of course, Andrei knows this--one of his early slides even says, "static for needed for simple implementation". But evidently the C++ committee has not yet been convinced. | |||

Advertising? This is a community forum, where community members express personal opinions. There's nothing wrong with discussions about the pros and cons of different programming languages as long as they're civil. I'm not about to tell people to never say anything negative about any language, including those same people who keep popping to remind us of D's shortcomings every time one of these discussions appears. Yes, I understand that people new to D can see these forums, and that the tone of the posts here can influence their opinion of the language. That's one reason why the forums are moderated. But there's nothing wrong with the tone of this thread. Discussions like this are perfectly fine, IMO. Every programming community I've ever been a part of has them. And I believe most people understand the difference between marketing and community discussion. | |||

So every discussion on this forum should be about improving D and nothing else? Come on. We have plenty of discussions about that. | |||
