is D with -betterc the ultimate chad language? seems like it!

is there some intro resource for baremetal programming with D?
you can start here: dlang.org
but i mean, apart from the features that are disabled with betterc (which is mostly crap anyway) you just program bare metal like you would with C
you expect too much from Jow Forums
D has been around unsuccessfully for so long, I honestly don't know.
For a language to really take off, someone needs to make a large project with it.
It's a chicken-and-the-egg problem: nobody will use a language if nobody else is using the language.
At the moment, I think Rust has a better chance of becoming the next standard for systems languages because it has the backing of Mozilla and now Facebook.
No ecosystem. NONE.
Vibe.d is garbage
DLangUI is garbage
Everything else is garbage and subpar.
both posts are very true, but the betterc switch is pretty recent and still being improved.
but yeah, unfortunately without some killer program or framework or lib it wont pick up any steam.. again..
but its so good, havent had this much fun in testing a language / feature in a long time. puts rust to shame imo
>no ecosystem, none
thats the beauty of the language and betterc, your ecosystem is literally the C and C++ ecosystem. just use C and C++ libs directly
D with betterc is like C++40 but today and without the backwards compatibility and with the ability to call C and C++ libs directly.
