Is it "Plain Old Data" as in standard C data types and structures ??
So is it possible to use D in a limited capacity for a bare-metal, or low-level (rtos/kernel, driver) environment ?? Is D suitable for developing code for high speed Network Routers, Robot Controllers, etc ?? If not, it sounds like it is more suitable for host applications (guis, web/network service apps, etc). Thanks, Brendan.
