Everyone has to use an interface to use D.  Notepad is an interface.  I 
guess your talking about an advanced interface. 

I use DIDE.

No, I think he's referring to D's "interface" keyword.  How many people
make use of interfaces in D in their normal OO programming practice?

I think J was trying to make a joke ;-)

Anyways, I use interfaces as much as I can get away with (which is not 
much yet, as I haven't written so much actual D code yet, I admit).

As an aside, I'm with Kris on the interface/class inheritance issue. I 
think Vathix made a very good point a bit earlier about the whole thing 
being an issue that stems from C++-style multiple inheritance... but D 
doesn't have multiple inheritance, so it seems to me that the Java 
approach is the more appropriate way to go.

Cheers,
Jan

I don't have a normal "D" programming practice--I'm new to the language. 
  However I make use of the interface concept regularly in OO 
programming.  This is affectionately known as the "Bridge Pattern" in 
GoF speak.  In C++ I have to resort to a pure virtual abstract class to 
represent the interface, but I wouldn't consider a language modern if it 
did not support it.

I do.  If I'm going to build an inheritance tree then I'm likely to do so with
interfaces and then build classes in where appropriate.  The new stream stuff
I've done that will be released someday works this way.

I'm always try to introduce some specific functionality in the architecture
using interfaces (from my experience of Java).

How can one not?  Multiple inheritance is pretty much necessary, and 
interfaces are the only implementation of that in D.  (I much prefer 
Eiffel's approach...but I'm not writing the compiler.)

I've used them a little.  E.g. in the clipboard stuff I was writing last 
week for SDWF 0.3.

This isn't much of a "poll", you know, despite the thread title. Most real polls
have an "against" option as well as a "for" option. Otherwise it's like saying
"We interviewed some unspecified number of people, and 531 of them said they
like cheese". And this means...?

I think this would be really interesting to know! Simply replying will count

Then how does anyone get counted OUT? Or are you assuming that everyone who
didn't reply doesn't use interfaces? But then, how do you know how many people
didn't reply? Are you counting lurkers or just regular posters? What if they're
on holiday?

Why not stick a /real/ poll on a Yahoo group or something, and invite us all to
vote in it. I agree with you that the answer would be "really interesting to
know". I just don't think you're going to find that answer on this thread.
