But most importantly of all (IMHO), D doesn't seem very widespread. Maybe this will change.
This also raises an issue WRT cross-platform development. If you wish to compile your GPC code on another system, you would run into a dead end if that system does not have a D compiler. I would imagine that one would be much more likely to find a C++ compiler than a D compiler.
True, although DMD is already supported on 4 different platforms, and gdc probably supports even more. But we should not count the latter, as it has to cope with the same problems as gpc.
And the former is not free software (only the frontend). Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, f.heckenbach@fh-soft.de, http://fjf.gnu.de/, 7977168E GPC To-Do list, latest features, fixed bugs: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html GPC download signing key: ACB3 79B2 7EB2 B7A7 EFDE D101 CD02 4C9D 0FE0 E5E8
