The D Programming Language 530
dereferenced writes: "Walter Bright, author of the
original Zortech C++ Compiler and the free (as in beer) Digital Mars C/C++ Compiler, has posted a draft
specification for a new programming language that he describes as "a successor to C and C++". It seems to me that most of the "new" programming languages fall into one of two categories: Those from academia with radical new paradigms and those from large corporations with a focus on RAD and the web. Maybe its time for a new language born out of practical experience implementing compilers."

Could we get languages that actually have some semblance to a name, please?
I must say, though, that D is actually pronouncable instead of "Cee Pound" which sounds like you are putting sand up where the SUN don't shine (errr, maybe that's the reason it's called that?)
Or maybe it's "Look at me I'm language Dee" from Grease...
Okay, coffee time.
