I have looked at the D language and liked it's syntax. The code looks neat and clean. But before I try to learn it thoroughly, I want to know if D is suitable to develop high level database GUI applications with drag and drop components like Delphi or Lazarus. Do we have something like that already? If not, are there any plans to develop a component based rad tool in future? Thanks, JJ

Previous versions were very buggy. I wonder if we could get an extern(freepascal) or whatever name mangling lazarus uses. Peter "My not caring is a reflection of my choice not to feel."

I am hearing good things about the Free Pascal it uses. It appears in some cases the performance of FP exceeds D.

I tried to use Glade for GTK+ some time ago and have some sample code but I couldn't get tot work with the signals yet. It is called GtkD. Carlos

I'll start with Ali's book and finish with Andrei's. Thanks to all, JJ

The main things that led me to like D were: - GC, but you can go without (a little painful, but not bad) - simpler templates than C++, but still powerful - CTFE (not "done" yet, but usable today) And I stayed because: - community driven - community intelligent and helpful, albeit a little small - still in development - I can still pitch cool ideas and have a chance at them landing - /+ /* */ +/ - seriously, why don't other languages allow this?!?The answer is NO to all your questions.I appreciate the straight answer! :) However, my curiosity for D language has grown recently after I read this article, http://www.drdobbs.com/parallel/the-case-for-d/217801225 So, I will sill learn this language, albeit a little slowly!
