The D Programming Language

is the best C-style programming language.

It is 100% compatible with C, but it doesn't inherit all the C crap like C++. (read it as: it's not a fancy preprocessor for C)
But it still has pointers.
NOT CRAPPY BUILTIN STRINGS
Automatic and manual memory management.
Extensive support for metaprogramming/compile-time code execution/generation.
Builtin non total crap dynamic arrays.
Optimized pure functions.
Builtin strings that don't suck.
Safe subset of the language.
Decent module system.
Closures.
Decent conditional-compiling system. Not that preprocessor bullshit.
BUILT-FUCKING-IN STRINGS.
Compiles to native code.
Doesn't suck like C++.

The only thing you need to know about D is that it wants to be C++, and is pretty good at it. It cleans up a lot of the retardation present in C++, but since the only people who actually wanted to use C++ to begin with are oblivious to that kind of thing, there is no one on Earth who wants to use D except for programmers who have taken the first few steps toward languages that don't suck, but don't know enough about existing programming languages to have found a good one yet.

C is the best C-style programming language, because it's the only one with a reason to exist.

Why not just play a good game like Fallout or Super Mario World instead?

Making a lot of sense and writing decently? In MY /prog/?

I love your post, keep up the good work.
