message: Given the way it reads, I'm not sure why C# is even listed without more direct examples as to what it inherited from C# that isn't already considered from Java (a predecessor).68.163.243.231 (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The second sentence under the Features section currently ends by saying "and as such [D] is not compatible with C/C++ source code". This sentence may be misleading given that D code can call libraries written in C. This is indeed discussed in more detail in the Interaction with Other Systems section. Should this statement be removed or clarified? Milez (talk) 20:57, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The section about concurrent programming only contains source code. Should there not be some sort of explanation to why it is concurrent and what the code does (besides from the very thin information in the comments)? SBareSSomErMig (talk) 10:22, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I remembered - and found out that I remembered correctly - that there was a language "D" for TSX-11 PDP-11 OS with preemptive multitasking, very good OS for its time. I think "D" was used for writing Lex-11. I have added a link under talk for TSX-11 wikipedia page.

message: At the top of the talk page, there's this prominent notice:
The article GtkD was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 23 August 2011 with a consensus to merge the content into D (programming language). If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the article for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use this talk page.
August 23, 2011 is not quite 10 years ago.  There's no mention of gtkd in the article, that i can see; the string 'gtkd' itself redirects to the article on gtk.
Per the notice, this is the right place to discuss the merger.   Did it ever happen, or was mention of gtkd just washed away through a string of edits over time?

message: In a top infobox, I see that D influenced Go.
I find this doubtful.
D influenced some languages, including modern C++, Nim, etc. But I really doubt it influenced Go in anyway at all. Go has completely different execution model, typing system, syntax, no templates, different module system, different concurrency methods, different error control, no metaprogramming. I would be super hard to find ANY concept taken from D that got into Go.
The only thing vaguely similar is Go and D compilers speed, which were kind of new at the time (currently many other compiled languages like Zig and Nim are even faster in this regard). But modern D is much slower than Go in compilation area (partially due to D standard libraries growing big). Even if so, this is hardly an influence of any kind. 2A02:168:F609:1:BEDA:2803:4006:38FD (talk) 17:38, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: After thinking a bit more about this. There is one feature in Go which is very similar to D. That pointer and reference dereferences, all use dot, instead of arrow for pointers and dot for references or values. I am not sure if this was influenced by D tho. 2A02:168:F609:1:BEDA:2803:4006:38FD (talk) 18:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

message: the fifth paragraph under Features reads "Specific operators for string handling exist, visually distinct from mathematical corellaries".
i believe this should be changed to something like "syntactically distinct from numerical operators", or just removed from the paragraph because:
- "visually" might be ableist. "syntactically" might also be more correct, as programming languages arent defined over what they visually look like, but in terms of (also) their syntax.
- the word "corellaries" seems to be a typo of "corollaries". a naive google search for "corellaries" turns up very few results (this page is the top result btw). wiktionary has no entry for it either.
- even if we correct it to "corollary" the phrase still is wrong. "mathematical corollaries" have nothing to do with the rest of the paragraph or page. the reference material for the phrase does not contain the words "corollaries" or "corellaries". i have no idea how this word ended up here.
- string operators, in a sense, can also be called "mathematical operators". strings of characters can be defined and studied mathematically. 187.61.153.177 (talk) 00:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
