I've read more than once now that 'protected' is considered useless in D. Why is this?
I'm not sure what articles you are referring to, but a couple of points it might think of: * Anything protected can be made public by derived classes, thus any protected member is not much more "safe" than public. * private and protected in D works at module scope, not class scope. You can modify private and protected members from anywhere in the module.
