• Berry is a ultra-lightweight dynamically typed embedded scripting language

  Show examples on the main web page. Try and find an AngelScript example. It's stupidly hard. Compare it to these web sites: https://dlang.org/ https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/index.html https://vale.dev/ http://mu-script.org/ https://go.dev/ https://www.hylo-lang.org/ Sadly Rust fails this too but at least the Playground is only one click away. And Rust is mainstream anyway so it doesn't matter as much. I... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Red Programming Language

  You are both right it seems. GP seems to have omitted withour GC. Number one on your list could be Dlang no? Not affiliated. https://dlang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Is there a type-theoretical difference between generics and compile-time metaprogramming?

  Check out D. It has Turing-Complete templates with specialised static if, static foreach, version, and debug constructs, all as statements and declarations, as well as more general quasiquoting expressions and declarations with mixin (yes, that is the same as Ruby's, Python's or PHP's eval, but at compile-time; in fact you can import() files at compile-time too and write a compiler in user code that compiles...

• 'Switch' and 'Computed Goto'

  According to dlang.org, D declarations go right to left:. Source: about 1 year ago

• I can't focus on work anymore. Daydreaming about side projects and other languages

  But yeah, sometimes it takes a tremendous effort of will to do what needs to be done and not dork around with a personal project or teach myself more D. Source: about 1 year ago

• Folks, the platform is not just for query resolution

  Are you saying she wants the D? Because that's a total brainfuck. I'd much rather believe they merely fell in Löve. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is a separate if statement for compile-time decisions necessary/preferred?

  There a precedents for both. Skew evaluates top-level if declarations at compile-time. It also has a neat postfix if guard for attributes (eg. @skip if Linux). D has specialised static if, static foreach, version, debug, all as statements and declarations, as well as more general quasiquoting expressions and declarations with mixin.

• C++23 “Pandemic Edition” is complete

  But isn't such a language already there? It's called the D Programming Language [1]. Sorry a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I'm getting tired of all these 'even-more-awesome' new programming language variants of C++. [1] https://dlang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Learning C as someone who already knows Rust

  Why do you want use C again? Working with legacy code? Otherwise have a look at Dlang. C is by definition unsafe, and it is never safe to program in C. But you can follow some guidelines to minimize the chance of unsafe errors. I guess you knew this already. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bflat – a single ahead of time crosscompiler and runtime for C#

  There is a programming language called D (https://dlang.org/), this might have caused confusion for some people. (Technically, there used to be a language called B, too, but I don't think it has been in use since before I was born.). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• C++'s smaller cleaner language

  I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the D Programming Language yet. It's been around for a long time, and it's a crying shame that D hasn't reached anything like critical mass (yet?!). Source: over 1 year ago

• where to start?

  Yeah the D programming language, https://dlang.org/ one of my favorite languages to program in. It's unfortunately not used a lot in bioinformatics, and deserves more attention in my opinion. E.g. Sambamba for working with sam/bam files is written in it (https://github.com/biod/sambamba) it's one of the most performant tools for working with NGS data because it uses async io and fibers.

  D is a systems language though and has been around much longer. It happens to be in major version 2. https://dlang.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• D2 is now open source – a new, modern language that turns text to diagrams

  Very unfortunate naming choice since D exists, is currently in major version 2 and sometimes referred to as D2, vs the legacy D1. Source: over 1 year ago

• Lua C api userdata calling wrong metatable

  The project is written in D (similar syntax to C/C++) and using bindc-lua to talk to Lua. Source: over 1 year ago

• Oil 0.12.7 - Garbage Collector Problems

  Lastly, my preferred language, the D programming language (https://dlang.org) uses a custom conservative GC as well, and the veterans of the community(ones who've been there longer than 7-10 years) tell me that ever since the switch to 64 bit, the collector has had little to no problems, can't be certain about long or'running processes like servers though.
