debugging has significantly improved, it works great for D types https://github.com/Pure-D/dlang-debug kotlin became very useful for focusing on being able to consume Java code it allowed them to have a huge presence on android, that's enabler it profits Zig as well not everything needs to be ranked #1 in TIOBE index there is value in being the way it is, it's organic, and no companies get to control its faith > the C interop is so good, that 1) most libraries provide a 1-1 translation of their C APIs, which ends up being ugly, non-idiomatic D that forces me to think in both C and D when coding; what do you mean? it's the same, function and data struct Data {} do_this(&myData); this is valid D, it's also valid C the problem i think you have is you are abusing OOP and think it's the only way of doing things, which is wrong, and
