The Mad Templater, Tomasz Stachowiak, has really gone off the deep end now. In his never-ending exploration of D’s metaprogramming capabilities, he has whipped up a raytracer that renders images at compile time. The next time one of the doubters wrapped in the cloak of C++ worship asks for an example of something D can do that C++ can not, point them toward this little app. It won’t do any good since they’ll dismiss it as pointless anyway, but we all know better. This is amazing, Tom. Keep it up!

For those of you who enjoy evangelizing D, there is a new thread about our favorite language over at GameDev.net. A poster has elicited feedback with the tantalizing topic, “What do you think of the D language”. He is a D-ite himelf and seems to enjoy it quite a bit. Head on over and chime in if you’ve got the time.
