Today, I stumbled on a blog post where someone used D as a glue language between C++ and Rust, by using the C++ linkage functionality to call C++ code and the ability to manually override the name mangling using pragma(mangle, "…") to call Rust code.

Wow, doesn't Rust have a name mangling override pragma to do this in itself? Honestly I think any language would do well to ad that.

Of course, even if it'd have it D would still be superior in this regard thanks to extern(C++) and ability to use CTFE for the mangled names.

Nice finding! Thanks for sharing.

Someone with Reddit account - can you please post it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThePrimeagenReact/ ?
It is interesting article and it deserves some more attention. If it will be chosen could be good for D as well
