Using an entire additional programming language for 229 lines of code is definitely an interesting choice.

I am waiting for Raymond Chen to post a "Microspeak: Morged" blog post.

> Why is that not D ?

You never get a second chance at making a good first impression.

I believe that many people that gladly use Rust or Zig or Go nowadays would be quite happy with D if they were willing to give it a fair evaluation. But I still often find people going "D? I would never use a language where the ecosystem is split between different standard libraries"/"D? No thanks, I prefer compilers that are open source" or similar outdated claims. These things have not been true for a long time, but once they are stuck in the heads of the people, it is over. And these claims spread to other people and get stuck there.

If you do not want to use a GC, it is trivial to avoid it and still be able to use a large chunk of the ecosystem. But often avoiding GC at all costs is not even necessary - you mostly want to avoid it in specific spots. Even many games today are written with tasteful usage of GC.

The one thing that really is a fair disadvantage for D is its small community. And the community is small because the community is too small (chicken/egg) and many believe in claims that have not been true for a long time ...

> You never get a second chance at making a good first impression.

There's a good number of younger programmers like myself who've never heard of D, say, before 2017 when those false claims were still true. Our first impression of D comes from its state today, which is not that far behind from other emerging languages.

That would still require someone else to burn 20000$ to try it themselves.

Yes which gets paid to Anthropic, so it'll be a win-win for them.

Almost lisp-like, isn't it?)))))))

It would not make Windows a good project, but it would mean that hardware vendors would have to implement good Linux drivers. It could therefore help all other distributions, too!

findall instead of bagof can also help for these cases.

    | ?- findall(A, (tree(A, N), branch(N)), As).

    As = [n,n1]

    yes

I tried the pronunciation feature, which works less than awesome on my system. I am happy to share that "語彙" is pronounced "chinese letter chinese letter", while for "効果的" it is "chinese letter chinese letter chinese letter".

Is that just my Debian/Firefox system? Or is "AI slop" the reason here?

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it.

I tried the above words in Chrome, and got the same problem. sorry about that, our tool is far from perfect. this is a bug in the extension, we will fix it asap.

Ha! I like the thought of unconciousness triggering a "kernel OOPS" and the brain dumping out a backtrace of everything. Makes you wonder who is supposed to debug it later ...
