Wow! I just finished replying to Burton (who made the most recent reply to my post), when I found the rest of these replies. The responsiveness of this newsgroup alone ensures that I'll have a great time using D, whether we choose to implement D in this application or I have to go find another project to use D for =). Thank you all for your replies, and more specifically Jarret, thank you for giving a thorough overview of D's strengths and weaknesses in each of the four areas that I mentioned. It sounds like D's performance will be just fine, that it's more mature components can be used to create a stable app, and (best of all, perhaps) that D is easy to code and maintain. Bill, thank you for sharing your experiences with D and giving a concise overview of the few problems one might encounter when using this language. I'll have to get back to you about your last question - we may be using D for 24/7 server apps, and will certainly be doing testing in that direction. Hasan, thank you for pointing out that many of the staples of coding are built-in with D, and reminding me that if we choose this route we can let the garbage collector take a significant load off of our shoulders. |

I find that a threaded newsreader is invaluable in finding related posts. I, for example, use Mozilla Thunderbird. I hope you don't miss any of the responses!
Oh, and welcome the NG. ;)
