> To become an expert in D or C++, you really need to understand what feels like a dozen different languages... and that’s not what I’m looking for in a single language.
Well, the alternative is to learn an actual dozen of language - one for the high-performance simd part of your app, one for GUI layouts, one for writing parsers, one with strong typing semantics for your domain objects (but how are you going to keep them aboard in the interfaces with your other languages !), one for network communication...
I much prefer (as a C++ dev, but the same applies to D), the ability of the language to make eDSL adapted to each tasks.
