After reading some of the comments, I begin to wonder why slashdot is considered so special. I guess it's merely the huge exposure it offers... Comments seem to be one of silly, shallow, glib, presumptuous, dogmatic or some other variation of the latter. A few clear-headed experts have there say once in awhile but I quickly wearied of reading more... Did you see how many couldn't get past just the 'D' name? ... Good grief... I'll just try to be optimistic about the exposure part of it. :-)

You are right, but there are some very good comments in there. The Slashdot system also works quite well, and you can always change the level you are browsing. Here is a very good comment: "Libraries (Score:5, Insightful) by jetkust (596906) on Monday April 19, 01:23PM (#8903469) In the end, it may come down to having extensive library support weather this language gets any attention or not. Without having easy to use, easily availiable libraries for sound,graphics,networking etc..., along with support examples and help with the libraries, it may not be worth using the language at all. Sure you can import C/C++ based libraries, but this will all be unmanaged C/C++ code and not protected D code with all the bennifits of D." There are also others with the same comments. D will make it on the availability of good APIs.

Anyone want to help out on slashdot by answering questions and clearing up any misconceptions?

No, sorry - had a quick look; seems to be full of idiots who don't know the diff between a std lib and core lang. And lot of argumentative p#$%ks. Apart from that, with me having my 'newbie' status and all (thanks Phill ;), I don't think I should represent the effort yet ;o) "Walter" <walter digitalmars.com> wrote in message news:c61ama$1f8r$1 digitaldaemon.com..."Achilleas Margaritis" <axilmar b-online.gr> wrote in message news:c611ja$ruh$1 digitaldaemon.com...

page. At least that would clear up miss-conceptions. It could be explained/shown that D core-language code is much easier then stl. -- -Anderson: http://badmama.com.au/~anderson/

In what respect is it easier: to use or to write? At the moment, neither is true. We're hoping to achieve that with DTL, but it's going to take some significant enhancements to the current template mechanisms.
