Because I believe D much more powerful than Java.


I will really appreciate detail analysis

What does "powerful" mean? I sure as heck wouldn't call Java a 
powerful language for interacting with C code, for instance.

This kind of discussion is not likely to be fruitful. Most 
participants will have a limited understanding of both languages, 
terms like powerful will go undefined, and claims will be based 
on anecdotes rather than data. If you want to compare languages, 
you need to start by figuring out what you want to do, then you 
need to decide which language will help you get there the 
easiest, which is the best option for long-term maintenance, and 
so on. A language's power (whatever that means) is not going to 
be a big factor in that decision.

Java as a language in itself is not more powerful than D 
regardless of opinions.

D as a language on its own is probably the most powerful language 
because of the way templates and metaprogramming works, CTFE etc. 
there's just no equivalent really. The closest to a competitor 
language-wise is Nim.

However that being said ....

Java excels far more than D in its framework, available packages 
and library ports but that's because Java is more popular and has 
been one of the most popular languages far longer than D has. D 
is not even popular compared to Java.

D cannot and probably won't ever match the ecosystem of Java but 
that doesn't mean Java is the better choice. It all comes down to 
use-cases.

You can't really say any language is better than another because 
each language has pros and cons. They're all tools and should be 
used respectively.

Ex. you can see Java as a hammer and D is a screwdriver.

A lot of people fail to realize that each language is a tool and 
not a toolbox.

Thanks, I am really shock about the claim that Java is move 
powerful than D since I have a working knowledge of both 
languages.

You are right in your analysis. Thanks
