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. 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
