- Steven Schveighoffer (4/13) Feb 27 2020 Nice! have to update my ldc installation to try it out, but I'd love to
- aberba (3/16) Feb 28 2020 Already asking him on Twitter.
- aberba (5/20) Feb 28 2020 Ikey did an interview with Foss and he said something about why
- Patrick Schluter (10/31) Feb 29 2020 from the article
- Piotrek (10/11) Mar 01 2020 I would add to this that I am also lazy ;) And my observation is
- Ron Tarrant (4/12) Mar 02 2020 I'll third that... or fourth it... or hundred-and-sixty-zillionth
- Piotrek (4/6) Mar 01 2020 Thank you for sharing.
- RazvanN (2/8) Mar 01 2020 Maybe we should add this project to our CI infrastructure.
There's this ongoing open source game framework by Ikey. I knew him to be a diehard C guru (from the Solus Project) but is now rocking D, hence Serpent. Check is out and support if you can, please. I don't know how he does it but Ikey can code stuff like crazy. https://lispysnake.com/blog/2020/02/02/the-slippery-serpent/

It's interested and funny as well.Having done a lot of Go development, I started researching alternatives to C that were concurrency-aware, string-sane, and packed with a powerful cross-platform standard library. This is the part where everyone will automatically tell you to use Rust.Unfortunately, I’m too stupid to use Rust because the syntax literally offends my eyes. I don’t get it, and I never will. Rust is a fantastic language and as academic endeavours go, highly successful. Unfortunately, I’m too practically minded and seek comfort in C-style languages, having lived in that world too long. So, D was the best candidate to tick all the boxes, whilst having C & C++ interoptability.Pew! Pew!! Nailed it. https://itsfoss.com/ikey-doherty-serpent-interview/

Doing SW development with GC is a blessing. Of course, allowing manual memory management as opt-in feature is a requirement for system programming (my domain). And D wins here both with Rust(no GC) and Go (only GC). Cheers, Piotrek
