d

C++ programmer here. I'm interested in learning a more "fun" language to play around with and was curious about what 4chan thinks of D. How good is the selection of libraries available for D? Is it usable for any practical real world applications? I don't know anyone who uses D and haven't seen any software written in it.

The creator of D originally wrote C++ compilers, the first native C++ compiler at that, which eventually became Symantec C++ for some time. Coming from C++ you'll feel at home in it, expect a non-stupid standard library (there are two major standard libraries, though) and ridiculously fast compile times, fast enough you can put a hashbang to dmd -run in your source and run it like a script.
