我是如何写出 D 语言的 (2014)
How I Came to Write D (2014)
2014 — 2018,它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页(≥ 50 分)的那次投稿,空心点是没冲上去的投稿,点越大分数越高。
导读
这是 D 语言之父 Walter Bright 在 Dr. Dobb's 上撰写的回顾文章,讲述他如何从写 C 编译器起步、历经多年积累,最终设计出 D 语言的过程,以及其中的动机与心路历程。文章两次登上 Hacker News 首页,评论区还吸引了 Walter Bright 本人现身答疑。
为什么经久不衰:它既是一份语言设计的第一手史料,也展示了独立开发者凭长期坚持打造系统级语言的历程,对关心编程语言演化的读者始终有参考价值。

D 缺少强大的企业赞助,这限制了它的发展
当年 Andrei Alexandrescu 在 Facebook 工作时,我曾希望 Facebook 能把 D 作为标准语言采用。这没有发生,D 看起来也不太可能获得强大的企业赞助者。我认为那本可以在资源和人气两方面都极大帮助 D。在理想世界里,好的编程语言应该凭自身优劣决定成败,但现实世界似乎并非如此。

Back when Andrei Alexandrescu was working at Facebook, I had hoped that Facebook would adopt D as a standard language. That didn't happen, and it seems unlikely that D will get a powerful corporate sponsor. I think that would have greatly helped D not just in terms of resources, but also in terms of popularity. In an ideal world, good programming languages would win or lose on their own merits, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the world we actually live in.
D 语言本身优秀,只是缺乏宣传热度
D 是一门很棒的语言,只是像同领域的其他语言一样缺乏热度。除此之外,作为一个普通用户,我几乎没什么可抱怨的。

D is a great language. It simply lacks in hype like other languages in the same space. Otherwise I find little to complain about it as a casual user
大师也是普通人,普通人坚持尝试也能做出伟大的事
读这篇文章和 HN 评论让我意识到一件美好的事:在我心中 Walter Bright 一直是高不可攀的编程大师,但他显然完全不这么看待自己。这很鼓舞人心——提醒我许多我仰望的人其实脚踏实地,也许我只要不断尝试也能取得类似的成就。

Reading this article and the HN comments, I'm realising something nice: to me, Walter Bright was always up there with the unapproachable gurus of programming. Clearly, he doesn't see himself like that at all, which is a very encouraging thing to realise. It's nice to be reminded that many people I look up to are really just down here, feet on the ground, and that maybe I could accomplish similarly great things by just (keeping) giving it a go.
文章展现了独立创造者的真实心路:靠不服输和写自己所需驱动
很喜欢这篇文章。我能认同的几点:被别人说“你做不到”所激励;写自己需要的东西而不是别人说世界需要的东西;忍不住和“错误”的人争论;倾向独立工作、不愿放弃控制权,但最终意识到必须让渡一部分。

Enjoyed this a lot. Points I could identify with: - being motivated by people telling you you can't do it. - writing what you need instead of what other people say the world needs. - having a weakness for getting into arguments with people who are "wrong." :) - being inclined to work solo, and being uncomfortable giving up control but realizing at some point that you have to cede some.
