November 17, 2021 A motto for D | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I don't know if D has a motto. If it does, it aint' that great, cause I can't remember what it is. Same as above, for every programming language I know of (except I think C++ has something.. about.. something .. I can't really remember). Anyways...after reading Dennis Ritchies' account in relation to the creation of C, he mentions they just wanted to "create interesting software more easily". I propose this as D's motto: 'Create interesting software more easily'. Such a motto seems to fit very well with everything I know about D. It's also a statement about D, now, and in the future (e.g. for those who don't seem to know what D's vision is ...) It's also a statement that provides guidance, to would-be contributors. And of course, such a motto serves as a great marketing tool. |

I like it. Hard to let go of my 2 current favorites: "Do it in D" or "Just D it", but I think this is just a better motto ^^
I could see this be the official new motto for D as well. It was "Fast code, fast" before but they wanted to change it so I would be for this one.

There is one, it's on the main page: "Fast code, fast." Unfortunately, thanks to the STD board, it is not true the moment you write that line:
So just use D, and that motto will stay true! don't listen to GC advocators and that motto will stay true! |

"D" is used as code for male genitals in informal communication… Any motto with "D" in it will be subject for ridicule. |
