    The Next Big Programming Language You’ve Never Heard Of [^] A decent write-up on this. Anyone used this? Opinions? Worth looking at or a dead-end?

    "D" was the next big thing back when I was in college learning "C", 14 years ago. Has something changed?

        I was working on a new language called "C+++" but now "D" seems to have jumped ahead... I could rename it "E" I suppose... no, that's been done. Ok, "F" it is... er... "G"... "H"... Aha! "H" it is! I'd better call it H++ straight away before someone takes that.

                For programmers who want the D... I ain't judging :)

                It's an OO world.

                      The good news about that is that if true, at least all the interesting people will be there. All the boring ones will be up there, sitting on clouds and wondering why nobody replies to their QA question about how to make a harp work... :laugh:

                          It looks to be literally as well as alphabetically somewhere between C++ and F# (or Haskell). I can't see a genuinely unique proposition though - so I'm thinking hobby material rather than astute career bet.

                                    Nah, it's the language from 2001. Read the wiki page[^]. Note the reference to both Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu.

                                      Which is why I was curious. The final paragraph of the article "Certainly, D still faces a long road to success. But this new language has already come further than most." caught my attention.

                                        There are links in the article to the author's book on Amazon and from that you can find out that D1 (or D) has been superseded by D2 which includes "ranges" which are like iterators but different. This page[^] is probably a much better starting point. However - any language that includes imaginary numbers [^]as a basic data type is pretty wacky ;-)

                                          I was working on a new language called "C+++" but now "D" seems to have jumped ahead... I could rename it "E" I suppose... no, that's been done. Ok, "F" it is... er... "G"... "H"... Aha! "H" it is! I'd better call it H++ straight away before someone takes that.

                                          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                          I'd go straight to double-D myself.

                                          You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
