digitalmars.D - A motto for D

reply forkit <forkit gmail.com> writes:
I don't know if D has a motto. If it does, it aint' that great, 
cause I can't remember what it is.

Same as above, for every programming language I know of (except I 
think C++ has something.. about.. something .. I can't really 
remember).

Anyways...after reading Dennis Ritchies' account in relation to 
the creation of C, he mentions they just wanted to "create 
interesting software more easily".

I propose this as D's motto: 'Create interesting software more 
easily'.

Such a motto seems to fit very well with everything I know about 
D.

It's also a statement about D, now, and in the future (e.g. for 
those who don't seem to know what D's vision is ...)

It's also a statement that provides guidance, to would-be 
contributors.

And of course, such a motto serves as a great marketing tool.

I like it. Hard to let go of my 2 current favorites: "Do it in D" 
or "Just D it", but I think this is just a better motto ^^

I could see this be the official new motto for D as well. It was 
"Fast code, fast" before but they wanted to change it so I would 
be for this one.

There is one, it's on the main page:

"Fast code, fast."

https://dlang.org/


Unfortunately, thanks to the STD board, it is not true the moment 
you write that line:

```
import std;
```

So just use D, and that motto will stay true! don't listen to GC 
advocators and that motto will stay true!

I don't think it's that good as a motto. A good motto should 
serve two purposes:

1. Tell, in less than a single sentence, why the language is good 
and why should people try it. "From prototype to production" is 
too general and too abstract; at first glance people won't 
understand what it means and when they do, they will ask "... And 
why should I want to use the same language for prototype and for 
production?"

2. It should serve as an overarching statement of what is the 
language's goal. It should be possible to look at proposed 
features or improvements and ask yourself, how does this proposal 
help to achieve the motto's goals?

Rudy's "Empowering everyone to write reliable and efficient 
software" is too long, not catchy enough, but it is descriptive 
and it gives a general direction.

This sounds like [Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/). That's 
another young programing language trying to find its niche and 
competing with Dlang. But looks like they [abandoned their "Fast 
as C, Slick as Ruby" 
motto](https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/the-core-principles-
ehind-crystal/1671) recently.

I kinda already done this ;-)

'Create interesting software more easily'.

Isn't that what ALL programmers are trying to do?

Isn't that what ALL language developers are trying to do?

Isn't that what would motivate others to use it?

Is there anything more 'overarching' than that?

Take it .. before someone else does ;-)

That's a little bit too overarching ;)

ALL languages strive for that, so it doesn't set D apart. It also 
doesn't provide a rule of thumb as to what the language should 
and shouldn't do.

In America nearly every second word can have some sexual 
connotation. As if there weren't already too much of them. I 
personally find even the word "dick" far fetched to have that 
meaning. If you need a one-letter abbreviation, I would say it's 
the "P"-word. If you'd ask me, D is about the 13th letter that 
would come to mind to have some sexual meaning. Halve the latin 
alphabet is more likely to be misinterpreted that way.

This thread is going off the rails. Maybe he is a troll (I don't

Actually, I've never trolled anyone in the D forums ever. I can 
see why some people want to think that, but it isn't actually 
true. (Wishful thinking.)

But I do view this thread as both serious and humorous. I think a 
slogan works better if there is humour in it. You have to try 
many mottos to get there. Brainstorming, throw in many wild 
things and someone will find inspiration and find one that does 
get attention.

I think slogans on webpages only work if they peak curiosity. 
"What do they mean??? I have to look further.". Basically 
something that makes the random visitor stop for a second.

I don't have much to add on topic. I think WebFreak001's [1] and

Or just a link:  METAVERSE

Curiosity killed the cat.

Just recently you were worrying about the letter "d", but now are
