I've been teaching my students for years about sound and music, and I always showcase Bobby Prince's work. Here's a fun clip of him playing in the early days: https://youtu.be/9w3yoIOK-9U?is=alZLs2OSL8pJ7JEQ
This is a rerecording of a recent talk I gave at the New Jersey Programming Language Seminar on the D programming language. It's a brief tour of the D programming language, why I enjoy the language(i.e. my 'sales pitch'), and also why I think there's more to choosing a programming language than a single dimension (which we often do). In any case, I encourage folks to try as many programming languages and tools as you can, and see which ones you like and find which language may be your competitive advantage -- maybe it will be the D language!
Everyone around Walter Bright kept calling it D because it was a modern language with C-like syntax. Thus, D the next letter in the alphabet and eventually Walter gave in. :)
Thank you so much, we always use your resources and it's basically our main go-to if we don't understand anything from dlang.org (which happens majority of the time) I hope you can keep making videos and maybe start doing some programming problems so we can better understand where each syntax is used
I am truly thankful and will continue to binge watch your vids
It's worth noting many (A majority as I understand) AAA game studios end up writing their own STL. I'm willing to bet many industries where performance is the primary concern also write much of their core libraries from scratch.
D lets user opt-out of collector as needed which is quite nice. D has been used in AAA game development for what it's worth as well.
- It's both fast for prototyping and also scales well for large applications.
- Compiles very fast with DMD and supports many platforms with LDC and GDC.
- CTFE (compile-time function execution) is a big win.
- standard library has enough of the common things (json, sql, csv, curl, sockets, etc.) that I need for my domain. Other stuff I can usually find a package or C library to read in if needed.
- most of the defaults seem right to me in the language versus C++ (variable initialization, struct as value type by default, explicit casting, module system, thread-local data, etc.)
Ecosystem does need a boost but I think that's actively developing, so code-d plugin for VSCode is a good place for most to start (I prefer VIM). Ecosystem seems to be slowly and steadily growing otherwise.
I can post links to more video tutorials if useful (disclaimer: I made them :) ).
