Does it do anything I can't do with any of the other existing languages?

I'm willing to bet that its preprocessor is more capable than VBScript. ;)

I've never heard of it until it was mentioned in Steve Yegge's "The Next Big Language" blog from a recent Insider. Anybody done anything with it?

I have looked at it, but it looks like yet another stillborn langauge to me. A long and heated discussion on D can be found here[^]

I don't currently use VBScript, but maybe if I downgrade my work to it then upgrade to D...

IIRC, there was thread about it a month or so ago here, and again IIRC, I was disappointed it did not include reflection, and I personally disagree with his assessment of C/C++. I also feel that productivity issues are less related to the implementation language and more related to practices in design, architecture, teamwork, testing, documentation etc. Still, everyone has to follow their passion, and since mine is in high level architectures and frameworks, I can at least appreciate that someone else's would be in areas such as computer languages and compilers. :) Marc

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

I believe the D is an abbreviation of DOA. It has some good ideas, some lame ideas and absolutely no support from anyone.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

I must admit I must have blinked while "Dylan", "Cecil" or "Pizza" were being used anywhere. :)
