Hello everyone, first post... Just saw this: http://joeduffyblog.com/2013/12/27/csharp-for-systems-programming/ D (and Rust) get a mention with this quote: "There are other candidates early in their lives, too, most notably Rust and D. But hey, my team works at Microsoft, where there is ample C# talent and community just an arm’s length away." |

Hmm it's already down (database error). Is there a cached version?

Well anyway there's nothing really "meaty" here. They don't say whether it's a language which will de-facto run mostly on Windows (of course it will be..), the syntax isn't shown, practically nothing is shown.

Sounds like they are building a Windows only version of D.

Posted in reply to Big Tummy Attachments:
| This is interesting but: - they don't talk about generic code? - it's not clear if their language solves the build time issue C++ have (which D solves) - if it's not a totally open language specification, then it's a dead-end to me. |

Pretty much definition of NiH syndrome :)

Exactly. I'm always secretly hoping Microsoft's next programming project involves them using and contributing to LLVM. But then I remember it's Microsoft and they don't do anything that could be beneficial for all. They're always going to reinvent the wheel and their wheel is going to have a different bolt pattern than every other wheel.
