Due to potential new direction of D, I’m looking for some escape route just in case. I’m primarily a gamedev, so no functional programming languages like Rust or Haskell. Also one of the features I dislike the most in C/C++ is the super slow and super obsolete precompiler with its header files, so no zig, I don’t want to open two files for editing the same class/struct. Memory safety is nice to have, but not a requirement, at worst case scenario I’ll just create struct SafeArray<Type>. Also I need optional OOP features instead of reinventing OOP with all kinds of hacks many do when I would need it.
Yes I know about OpenD, and could be a candidate for such things, just looking into alternatives.
Today I learned GoLang has no
class.Neat! Thanks. Sincerely.
I’ve been coding casually in GoLang for years without noticing. (I don’t use classes, because classes suck.)
Apparently GoLang does at least have
interfaces, which are likeclassesthat don’t suck. That’s probably why I didn’t notice.https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/class-and-object-in-golang/#
Interfaces (traits in rust) are the best imo. Way better than raw structs in C or the mess that is inheritance.
What I don’t like about go’s interfaces is that they’re implemented implicitly. I much prefer java’s and Rust’s way to implicitly say which classes/structs extend/implement which interfaces.
