Hi D-lang Developpers,

I Appreciate your effort in implementing D-language to overcome drawbacks of C and C++. But I have some concerns in this,

1.I don't know Why you are not supporting Multiple Inheritance?
In C++ way of multiple Inheritance is required ans it is programmer to use also.

2.Dynamic class loading is required. Please Include this in your D-language.

I wish this D-language will get more popularity and Wide area of applicable. I wish you all Success, Good luck...

Have you looked at mixins? http://www.digitalmars.com/d/mixin.html

While not complete, DDL at www.dsource.org is heading in this direction. Perhaps you would like to lend a hand if it is essential to you.

While I cannot speak for the exact design decisions behind not supporting MI, I can say that everyone is getting along very well without it.  IMO, there are exceedingly few cases where MI actually solves a problem without needlessly complicating things for developers.

D has an amazing feature that functions well as a workaround: mixins.  Combining mixins with interfaces will give you most of what you crave from MI, without any of the "what overrides what" issues that C++'s MI implementation gives you. :)

The DDL project over on dsource (www.dsource.org/projects/ddl) is moving steadily toward this goal.  The intermediate goals of dynamic loading and linking, in a cross-platform manner, are nearly complete which will set the stage nicely for dynamic class loading and true reflection. I have prepared a little more information on things over on the project page itself, so please drop in and take a look.

Thank you.  Please consider helping us out with making D a success.  There are many active projects over on dsource.org that are always in need of testers and contributors.  The scene here is pretty friendly - just ask to help!
