Unfortunately, in this case, it brings to my actual workplace
nothing more than does C#. And we already use the latter for GUI
and so on. When really needed some pointer action, a bit of C
will ensure that just fine: after all, grunt pointer work in code
is less than 5% (don't count for that abstractions as arrays, as
the latter are provided by C# and co.).
And you know C quite well, because, surprise, you are using it a
lot for the kernel programming.
It was a time when Walter answered to some post telling that
there are no OSs written with garbage collectors someting like:
"maybe it should". Understanding that this will also mean better
safety, as less memory leaks and so on.
Well, it seems that you could have an almost OS: the GNU without
the Linux. And that OS will be something like D/C, just as today
we have GNU/Linux. C standing for the kernel...
There is good reason I respect and praise Iain. He delivered.
I concur.

I'm humming away productively since I switched to GDC.
I wish I could say the same.
