Is D the wave of the future? Back when Microsoft shipped the very first version of Visual Studio that supported C++, advertisements started appearing everywhere, seeking coders with "5 years of Visual C++ experience". This despite Visual C++ having been on the market for only a few months. So next year, are all the recruiters going to be looking for coders with five years of Visual D experience? :-D Mike -- Michael David Crawford mdc@prgmr.com prgmr.com - We Don't Assume You Are Stupid.
