when it comes down to it, it's not just a programmer's choice to decide to use D over C++ or C or Java. The projects that are significant are dictated by a corporate (or govt) committee. That committee will consist of all levels of staff, to include programmers, lead developers, architects, managers, and even Cxx types. ......................... So, how are you going to sell YANL, such as D, to that committee? Um, it's a fairly new language, sir, the 1.0 release occurred in Jan 2007 ... D 2.0 was released in July 2007, but has experimental features. Yes ma'am, it's not certified by ISO or other committee. Um, successful, large-scale projects? In the research I've done, I've not found any [successful] high-visibility projects. .................................. Yea, D might be cool to implement for that simple 4-6 week back-office project, but let's see you sell it for an, important, high-visibility corporate-wide or government organization project.
