Hi,

I looked at your presentation and I like what I saw. I need to re-read it
carefully.
Garbage collection is cool, dropping old dirty stuff (pre-processor, etc.)
is cool and removing all these sources of side effects (operators
overwhelming, etc.) is cool.
I like the fact it's pragmatic. I like also the fact that there's no ten
manners to do one thing as in C++ but one good like in Java.

My suggestions :
1. I'd love to see a compiler :)
2. Exceptions in the core of the language are great. Please do the same
thing with threads !!!
3. You will need to have some APIs for D like graphical toolkits, XML and so
on, if you want D to be known and used. What are you planning on this side ?

Regards

Guillaume Girard

So would I! I'm working on it. After all, I've been told I'm an idiot
savant, that compilers are the only thing I *can* do!

2. Exceptions in the core of the language are great. Please do the same
thing with threads !!!


Got any ideas there?

My hands are full with the compiler implementation. I'm hoping that someone
else will want to do a class library.

No you're not :)

Well I love the way Java handles them...

I'd be happy to help in that area.
But that's true, the first thing to have is a compiler !

I'm working on it. You guys will be the first to know.

I'm willing to mirror if the compiler package stays under a megabyte.
