I thought of that, as it sticks with the gemstone idiom of Ruby at large (it even sounds like the words "Ruby" + "idiom", heh).. but just couldn't escape the novelty of "Rudy." Sounds like a case for a poll.

I read it as "Ruby Diem," which is kind of a nice play on words too :-)

Posted in reply to Walter Bright | Languages I use most of the time : C - FORTRAN 77 - JAVA FORTRAN 77 is for doing math. I like D because I'm tired of writing glue code between FORTRAN or C and JAVA and because the object model is similar to JAVA's one which I believe to be easier to use than C++ one and sufficient for most purposes. I use TCL and PYTHON as scripting languages. I often embed an interpreter (Python or TCL) in my programs to provide a macro language. It is useful for testing too. The only thing that prevents me form using D for everything is the lack of a good runtime library that covers most needs (like JAVA's one). I use D for fun and for small projects, I don't use it for my job now. I hope to be able to switch to D in the future. Thanks a lot for 1.0 which works fine ! Vincent |

Posted in reply to Walter Bright | C++. I'm sorry, C++; I still love you, but I think we both know we've been drifting apart these last few years, and D really understands me... |

I've mostly used C++, professionally and otherwise.

Posted in reply to Walter Bright | EasyUO -> BlitzBasic -> C# -> D Along the way I took side journeys into Java, Pascal, and C++. I use D mostly nowadays, though I could probably slip back into C# if I had to. |

Primary language is C++.
