I’ve finally a worth replacement for C++, which I’ve used a lot in the last 10 years. I’ve written a protein viewer in C++. I’ve done research for scientific papers in C++. But yet, even though I’ve tried to take the moral high road with the STL, C++ just feels ugly and un-weildy. I remember the horrendous learning curve from C to C++. There was so much to get right – C++ throws out the compactness of C for a baroque welding of different programming paradigms and backwards-compatibility. So it was with some trepidation that I tried out D, yet another saviour for C++ programmers. Now that I’ve been using it for a few months, I have to say, do believe the hype.

Right, C++ is on the decline. But D is DOA!

"I’ve finally a worth replacement for C++," ... ?

Learn English first.

dzonelurker is right. D is not worth it.
