Recently I've seen this, is it possible to write an equally short & safe & easy program in D2 (using the concurrency features being developed)? http://grammerjack.blogspot.com/2010/01/writing-bittorrent-client-in-go.html (In computer language history it's happened often that a worse language (let's say Go) becomes more widespread than a "better" one (let's say D2), so there's no guarantee that D2 will beat Go even if D2 is "better". But being about as good or better is not bad anyway :-) ). Bye, bearophile

I'm not sure that is true. Actually, I think it is not true. People say that about Windows all the time too. While I KNOW much better OSes are possible, there really is (or was all this time, I haven't used the new Macs but I wouldn't want to do Unix-style programming anyway, so it's underpinnings do not appeal to me, FWIW) no comparable competitor. On the flipside, I think C++ is a crappy language, but it's still the best one out there (IMO, until I implement my own, of course) and I use it but I liked using it better before I knew so much about it.

I can look that up, but it's easier if I just ask you to explain your curt comment and how it relates as a response to my post. Pray tell!
