Ask HN: Have you used D?
2 points by jeffreyrogers on March 18, 2016 | hide | past | favorite
I've been reading up on D lately and it seems interesting to me. Here is a good overview: https://dlang.org/overview.html. While I haven't used it in anything substantial, it seems to fix a lot of the problems people have with C/C++ while still retaining their good features (close to the hardware, easy to understand how it will be compiled, imperative, etc.). It appears like D programs can also be made type and memory safe fairly easily (albeit by restricting your use of the language somewhat). So it seems that D fits into that sweet spot that Rust and Go are trying to target, but I don't hear about it being used much. Do any of you have experience with it and if so what are your thoughts?
