The captchas are awful, why would you want to waste brain cycles on that if you wanna send a one line response or so. Why not have captchas like most other websites that give you a random selection of letters/numbers in an image file like "2B4aHg". You just need to type them into a text field. A programming / D-specific captcha is a bit nahhh. But it tells you something about the mentality...

So I assume for what you're saying that anybody who comes here already knows at least: ternary, promotion, implicit casting.

For example: If a person knows VB/Delphi and now he is trying D and have any doubt, he will need to evolve first to understand ternary before posting something, because ternary in these languages are different.

Awesome and great mentality.

If it is for mitigate spam/bot, you can easily by pass it with a simple script[1].

I'd prefer a captcha system that is commonly used than some that requires a specific knowledge of a language, which may be a barrier for newbies.

You underestimate delphi programmers if you think they can't learn ternary operator.

I didn't say they can't learn, and as quoted I said it's different in these languages (I mean the symbols involved).

By the way, since D has inline assembler attribute, why not use it for captchas too?

Because according to you:

The programmer should at least know Assembly, right?

Couldn't have said it better myself.
