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.

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There are links in the article to the author's book on Amazon and from that you can find out that D1 (or D) has been superseded by D2 which includes "ranges" which are like iterators but different.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 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.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

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

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.

I recall Dr. Dobbs Journal pimping Db (D-flat) a loooonnngggg time ago. Is this a relative?

According to the original BCPL sequence, the next big programming language should be P. (try saying P++ several times fast)

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?

D is not a very good grade.
C is better and C++ even better.
I don't want to bost but I once got an A.
A for Assemble on a BBC Micro, but have now sliped down to a grade B. (B for Basic) or is it a grade VB (Visual Basic)

That article is for non-programmers and/or fools ...

Thanks. I just wasted quite some time on the flashback site. I'll keep it in my records for time wasters !

"bet he doesn't have the guts to do that again"
My son told it to me, blame him!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

My son's version was:
Q: What's the last thing tht goes through a fly's mind as it hits your windscreen (windshield for foreigners)?
A: Its a***hole (a**hole for foreigners).
