>I know that he is but this is incredibly off-topic.

no, it is not. in the fine tradition of hn, let me reply by saying, "that's like, just your opinion, man". which is not worth more than any other people's opinion on this site. maybe worth less.

e.g.:

>D would deserve attention too if ...

so now you are telling everyone what deserves attention?

then what have you done to deserve attention yourself (to your comments, that is)?

walter has done plenty. he created the D language, and still maintains it, along with others, like, you know, Andrei, for one. Google who that is.

Google about Walter to know what other stuff he has done before, like you know, the Zortech C++ compiler.
