On: Quarkus 1.8.1 – Kubernetes native Java framework

If you want a small, fast and one file, cloud native experience with familiarity to modern OOP languages like C++/C#/Java, why don't we start evaluating D?

[InTheArena → stevefan1999]

Because it’s almost impossible to find people who can maintain it or add to code written in it. Job on the other hand has 25 years of being the top language for enterprise development. For something to replace it it Hass to be orders of magnitude better.

[pjmlp → stevefan1999]

Because it is a tiny community and D still lacks many of the libraries and tooling that those communities have gotten in the last 40 - 25 years.

Then why shouldn't we starting to terraform it? It's a catch-22 this way

[pjmlp → stevefan1999]

Because tango vs phobos was already damage enough, and Python 2/3 is a lesson in terraforming.

Slow and steady does win some races.
