#2Sigh.
Ownership and borrowing are so much less baroque in D than in Rust. And compile times are superb.
In a better world, we would all be using D instead of C, C++ or Rust.

Slowly it is going to be only skills.md.
I agree with the sentiment, I really like D and find a missing opportunity that it wasn't taken off regarding adoption.
Most of what made D special in D is nowadays partially available in mainstream languages, making the adoption speech even harder, and lack of LLM training data doesn't help either.

I don't know D so I'm probably missing some basic syntax. If pointers cannot be copied how do you have multiple objects referencing the same shared object?

That shouldn't stop any self-respecting programmer.

Nor does it stop self-respecting LLMs.

Self-respecting programmers write assembly for the machines they built themselves. I swear, kids these days have no respect for the craft
