First result in DDG is from stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-w...

Google: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-w...

Same exact thing, so what is your point exactly?

Cherry-picking, then. Real cute.

Of the top 10 Google results, 9 specifically relate to the D programming language.

Of the top 10 DuckDuckGo results, the number is 3.

Using the top result of a search engine with a string you provided is cherry picking?

Yeah... good to see you’re not reaching or anything.

You're suggesting that nothing matters but the top result?

Don't be silly.

I’m suggesting that if the top result works it doesn’t matter. More, I’m suggesting that the next time you want to suggest a challenge you should run it yourself, first.
