>>29 Which has to do with the fact that it's only two years old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_%28programming_language%29 Appeared in 2001
They had 11 years and didn't even port it to Solaris/x86 or OS X/PowerPC (Intel Macs weren't around until 2005)? Why would anyone use this language when its authors didn't even care about Macs or any platform other than Intel? D is a toy language with no compelling features. There's nothing that makes code easier to write, maintain, or verify. Its syntax offers no improvements over C++. There are no optimizations that you can't get with Clang. There's no reason why anyone would use D over better supported, better optimized, and more portable languages. D is garbage.
