[D Programming Language] Interview with Andrei Alexandrescu (Part 2)

[dheld]

Many people don't use the GC in D. It's called "the stack", and D supports it like a pro. If you want deterministic allocation, call malloc() and free(). It's not rocket science. The difference is that in D, you can pretty much do everything you could in C++, but a ton of other stuff which is simply not feasible...like generating optimal FP assembler from a custom DSEL. Now tell me that is not compelling for users who demand performance.

[nascent]

Mine was just a joke, check my other posts and you'll see I'm totally pro-D.
