d is just such a pleasure. it's like it was designed to make the programmer happy. maybe that's not a reason to choose it, but it's a huge perk

>d is just such a pleasure. it's like it was designed to make the programmer happy.

IIRC, Walter has said somewhere (likely on the D site or on his site or one of his articles for DDJ) that it was designed for that, actually, or something to that effect [1]. I've felt that myself while using it. I think he also said something like the code should look good on the page.

I agree.

[1] Or at least, make him happy :)

This subfeed of my blog has all my D language posts, about a dozen of them (apart from a few videos of D or related confs):

They may be of interest to beginners or others wanting to get a bit of a feel for some of the kinds of things D can do, via simple command-line programs, along with checking the D site and tour at dlang.org .

It's a very important point that is often underrated. Programming is a human activity; the tool should make the human happy.

My thoughts exactly. If I want to build something, I just do it, and I really enjoy it.
