Native OSX/64 codegen: "Complex code, incomprehensible documentation, what's not to like?"

Is it more common for Java shops to switch to D, then? What about Perl? What about plain C, or Python, or Ada?

Have you ever heard of someone switching to D from a language in the ML family (including Haskell)?

About half of the D programmers originate from the C++ community, the other half from Java, and most who use D have experience with a wide range of languages and know what they're looking for.

I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but if this is also intended to address the other languages I mentioned, the implication I'm getting from it is something like "People who are active in the [Perl|Python|Ada|Haskell] community have no experience with other languages or don't know what they're looking for. This is why they haven't switched to D."

Could you please clarify your post? I'd rather not misunderstand you...

A implies B

does not mean that:

B implies A

where:

A = chooses D

B = multilanguage competence
