This exactly what I described in 2021, so I’m pretty happy seeing other languages also going this route.

Sadly, they also don’t have a solution for the follow-up question that naturally falls out if this approach – how to “unbox” generic types such that they can be used directly and don’t need some additional type to hold it, i.e.

union Option[T] of T, None // None defined elsewhere

instead of

union Option[T] of Some[T], None // Some & None defined elsewhere

Which is not very noteworthy, don’t you think?

Putting some HTML files on a web server somewhere is not that big of a mystery in 2025 that it might have been in 1995.

Github Pages supports Jekyll as a SSG out of the box.

Any documentation or tutorial – official or otherwise – that simply skips on this is getting people’s hopes up just to waste their time.

Studying at a university is not a fancy job training.

Do whatever pays your bills, and learn what interests you. Sometimes the latter will help with the former, but it would be silly to depend on that.

“apparently it’s a better safer C++, but I’m not going to switch because I can technically do all that stuff in C++”

The main difference between C++ and D was that (for most of the time in the past) D required a garbage collector.

So, D was a language with similar Algol-style syntax targeting a completely different niche from C++.

Trying to correct your quote, it should read something like “I’m not going to switch because I can’t technically do all that stuff in D that I’m doing in C++” for it to make any sense.
