Funny, I just had a similar experience at work today. I had to append to an
array (it was from old C code that hasn't been updated to use vector) and
found myself typing D instead of C++. As I typed the equivalent C every
keystroke hurt.

I've found it more of a +ve, in that I seek to enhance/extend C++ in a D-like
manner. (I'm just writing an article on 
subscripting for CUJ that's heavily influenceD <g>)

P.S. Of course, the array-slicing just can't be beaten. :-)

<g> I've always thought that the true test of D comes when a C++ expert
writes enough D code to get used to it, and then tried to go back to C++.

Now I know, that's why the word "derevolution" does not exist, it is 
simply impossible to do.

Indeed not.  That is why derevolution will not betelevised.

 Maybe start a D programming contest then?

 I'd never use Brainfuck for serious programing. Nor Cobol (it looks difficult
to
 write).
 
 


Surely the inventor of Cobol must have been stoned. It isn't a language, 
it is a complete religion.
