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:

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There are links in the article to the author's book on Amazon and from that you can find out that D1 (or D) has been superseded by D2 which includes "ranges" which are like iterators but different.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.

I had some interest back about ten years ago, but C# suits me better. I think its target audience is C++ developers, so it's unlikely to take off.

Walter Bright decided to start working on a new language in 1999. D was first released in December 2001 ...

Its just a stepping stone for other abilities that will be places into older languages such as C++ C# was thought to replace C++, and so was a lot of other potential languages, but that didn't happen even when the desire to program in the language dipped down, since 2010 C++ has shown such advancement that people have gone back to using that language. If you have the mind power for it - learn it - adapt your styles to it and move on

I already programmed in E. I don't know if it exists yet, but it existed in Amiga.

I don't think it originated with him,. but it's certainly something he would have said! Pity he insisted on a contract clause limiting his shows to just one repeat - I'd love to see all his stuff again. Finest stand-up (or sit-down) comedian I have ever seen (or heard).

Nice. There are new languages all the time. Wired wrote a small piece: looked interesting; didn't recall D before that. Oh well: another waste of time. Stick to the money makers.

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

An acquaintance of mine keeps trying it (and Go) at least one a year before getting fed up with one thing or another and going back to Python.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Yes, go to H***, Go straight to H***. We'll all go to H*** in a hand basket. ;)
It was broke, so I fixed it.
If you plan to go, and enjoy blues music, going in early September might be a good idea: http://www.bluesinhell.no/[^] If you rather would like to see it freeze over, you might rather go in January. It is close to the fjord, and when weather is bad (extremely humid and ice cold), everything might be covered by half an inch of soldid ice Freezing over[^] You might have guessed that the name of the place does not mean the same in Norwegian as in English (it is related to "hill", but it is not as steep as a hill), but the guys up there sure puts a lot of effort marketing the place based on the English interpretation. The most popular Norwegian post cards of all times is the one from the railroad station, the cargo (or in Norwegian: gods) handling office, with a large sign declaring: "H*** Gods Expedition".
