Re: More D spec questions

I noticed that Thomas works for Infosys.  His experience doesn't shock me
AT ALL.  The fact that a consulting company insists that their programmers
code to the lowest common denominator is shameful.  If they had tried to
foist that crap on our team when I worked several years ago for a company
that "hired" Infosys, we would have raised holy hell. I do remember being
asked by an onsite Infosys programmer to explain some of my "exotic", i.e.,
modern RPG code.

Thomas, I am curious, does Sysco have any in-house developers, and do they
have any say in this?
