Pony: An actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language

I remember the first time I visited the DLang website. I clicked “What is D used for?” [0] and scrolled to the very first section, “1. Industry.” The opening example was “1. Games,” so naturally I went to read more…and found the first link, “AAA game,” was dead. It led straight to an error page on Xbox.

That was years ago. After reading your comment, I decided to check again. The same “AAA game” link is still first, and it’s still broken.

You can’t really call that “a good presentation of a language” when the very first real-world example links to nowhere—and nobody’s bothered to fix it for years.

I guess you're referring to the official link to quantumbreak.com. No one has probably noticed or pointed it out yet, I do not know where to raise it since I am not a member of the fourm. But the next sentence links to the presentation about the Game (Quantumbreak) and it's integration with Dlang.

You are not wrong, that should be fixed but no information about it is lost, I feel like you're a bit too harsh here.

If you don't file an issue, then no one will know to fix it. Took me literally three minutes to create a PR using the "Improve this page" button.
