Abstract is: "Yes, all languages do it, but D's approach is different". It references "The D Programming Language" by Walter Bright, DDJ, February 2002. Not sure if it's the same as the one on slashdot. Interesting side note: The same issue of DDJ details S-XML, a language for manipulating XML trees. To quote: "Specifically, S-XML represents XML elements with S-expressions". (have I mentioned this before on 9fans? deja-vu?) andrey ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Walter Bright has a special place in my memory, I wonder what happened to him? He eventually sold Zortech to Symantec (I presume). This happened to be a surprisingly complete C++ (version 1 and version 2) compiler suite for the 8086 and later processors. I still use it occasionally, largely for small C utilities. I found it all pretty impressive, for what my opinion may be worth. In fact, his C++ compiler would, again in my opinion, complement Plan 9 rather successfully. Pity the source is not, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain. ++L ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
