Who needs another language ?

No, I'm not going to talk about Ruby and the huge amount of news about it's possibility to take over the world :) I'm going to introduce you to a lesser known language: D. Yes, I presume it's name has something to do with the evolution from the C language... Anyway, I wasn't really thrilled when someone told me about this new language. I immediately thought "ok, a new language...yawn". However, I was surprised when I looked at this comparison. It just seems too good to be true. My first reaction was "where's the catch ? does it really work?". I never heard of it before, but apparently it has already been on Slashdot and Dr.Dobb's. At first sight, the language specification seems very similar to C or Java, but with the best of both worlds, and more. Why (almost) nobody knows about it ? maybe it's a hidden gem that will appear on the spotlight sooner or later...or maybe it will never catch on, despite its (apparent) quality (It wouldn't be the first). Worth a try...
