This is a tried and true paradigm, you program in one language and use wrapped up libraries written in C. The only difference is that I'm writing in a convenient C dialect and I don't have to wrap the library. This is a very natural thing. Porting a program from D to C is a small one-time project. 99 percent of my time is spent experimenting with the code, rewriting sections of it, trying new things. Anything that makes that 99% better and faster is worth it. I don't mind spending 2 or 3 hours porting to C after spending weeks experimenting with a new algorithm. You could do all of this with some other high level language too, such as Java, but with a great deal more effort. I am making a judgment that far less effort will be spent for a given quality of product doing most of the dev work in a better language. - Don > s. > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
