My Vision of D’s Future

I work in c++ and D was designed in part to address a lot of c++ complaints. so I find myself with very few issues while writing D. it's just a very enjoyable experience (subjective ik)

the meta programming is very cool also

I am worried the push towards integration with C++ will just turn D into a cheap C++ clone. We already got copy constructors, just to interact with C++ code. More C++ features to come.

Copy constructors were needed due to type checking const/immutable copying. C++ interop was just icing on the cake.

It's the other way around, C++ is turning into a complicated D clone.

Nothing cheap about being way ahead of C++ in metaprogramming and compile-time programming.
