This is really quite common thinking in D. I was writing a library and a contributor popped out of nowhere. He didn't knew D. The first patch it suggested was about parsing some JS…

Disclaimer: I've used D for an enormous time, and I tried Rust for about one hour for the experience. Remarks: - build times are worse in Rust, but not _that_ much worse - with Rus…

That's what D does, it has infinite look-ahead in cases and there are still multiple parsers available as libraries.

Go doesn't allow to create reusable, zero-cost abstractions so I guess it's not more concise than C++ either.

Great news, Intel does make suprinsingly effective optimizations.

I remember earlier AMD processors, supporting SSE1 (with the CPUID bit on), but this was so slow to be unusable in practice, slower than general instructions. In this case, the opt…

May I mention Nimrod [1]? It has a lot going for it when it comes to meta-programming. [1] http://nimrod-code.org/

So, as a Game On 2010 contestant, my entry is now gone from their site? I prefer to participate to js1k which does not erase entries. Also the reader should be aware that he will b…

I would advise to search energically for _root causes_ for your illness, have a lucid stare at your life and ask yourself why you feel bad now. Perhaps you have missing information…

yay, every Allman indented program will silently fail

It's damn hard to stop using. Pretty addictive.

Same here. People don't know how high one can get just with running.

I commute by bike (2x30 min/day), go running 1h30 once a week and have a rowing machine (1h/week). I don't want to live without these highs. It also helped me in productivity and m…

Windows and Linux drivers are maintained by the manufacturers.

Now deprecate your own OpenGL drivers.

Did you make a "throw the geek" flash game ? It was great.

Now he can program in a proper language.

A language without purity / proper constness / powerful static checking will not be automatically parallelized.

Walter rewrited his game Empire in D.

Maybe you could have a read at Modern C++ Design by Andrei. A mind expanding book with incredible insight in meta-programming. All this "template maelstrom" makes sense and is unav…

Unsupported is a bit strong. "For pet projects I'd be inclined to give a green light. It's always nice to play with new technologies as it opens your mind and give you new ideas." …

I don't think many-cores compatibility is a little gain.

I find it a lot better.

There is an awful lot of problems with C++ though. - The tool are certaintly not rock solid. Parsing requires arbitrary look-ahead and semantic pass, order of headers inclusion mat…
