C, Objective-C, C++... D! Future Or failure?
TDRighteo writes "OSNews is carrying a quick introduction to a programming language under development - D. Features include garbage collection, overrideable operators, full C compatibility, native compilation, inline assembler, and in-built support for unit testing and "Design by Contract". With all the discussion about the future of GNOME with Java/Mono, does D offer hope of a middle-road? Check out the comparison sheet."
Who said computer geeks don't have any creativity in naming their programming languages?
Oh, wait...
Microsoft will come out with it own version, and call it D-.
This signature is a waste of 42 characters
Looking forward to job ads saying :
Duh !!
Bah, We've allready made it all the way to R!

with apologies to eminem...
to the tune of 'without me'

Sun's created a monster, cause nobody wants to code Java no more
or basic, but something quicker
Well if you want speed, this is what I'll give ya
A language called C that won't let you do "is a"
Some "has a" that makes me feel sicker
than the bugs when I build patch that's critical
using make to compile and be building
with a language that allows object orientating
Your var name's too long, now stop line breaking
Cause I'm back, I'm a new var and instantiating
I know that you got a job Bill and Steve
but your company's trust problem's complicating
So GCC won't follow ANSI or copy memory, so let me see
They try to recompile with visual C But it feels so bloated, without C
So, connect with SLIP, or create a RIP Fuck that, write a function, and shift some bits
And get ready, and use a pattern like proxy MS just settled their lawsuits, expect a levy!
Now this looks like a job for C So everybody, just code in C
Cause we need a little, bit more speed Cause it runs so slowly, without C

Little Hallions, MS feelin litigious Embarrassed that users still listen to RMS
They start feelin like ellen feiss 'til someone comes on the television and yells SWITCH!!!
A visionary, beard's lookin' scary Could start a revolution, lives in a bear cave
A rebel, although emacs ain't real fast and there's the fact that I only got one class
And it's a disaster, such a castastrophe for you can see so damn much of my class; meant to use C.
Well I'm back, i-j-k-x-y-z-out-ta-var-names Fix your damn indentifier tune your code and I'm gonna
open it, under vim, maybe pico and variables, no such thing as a member
I'm interesting, the best thing since assembly but not Polluting the namespace with inherits
We're Testing, your functions please Feel the tension, soon as someone commits some C
Here's my webpage, my code is free who'll pay the rent? What, You code with vi?

An object in
AT&T, you can get your ass kicked worse than those little C++ bastards
And Ruby? just like a static property not even used with KDE and QT
You're not like C, you're too slow, let go It's over, nobody'll code in OO!
Now let's go, -9's the signal I'll be there with a whole list of XM and L
I use SOAP, XPATH with XSL And you know perl's just like coding in symbols
everybody only just codes C so this must mean, some com-pile-ing
but it's just me i'm obfuscating And though I'm not the first king of controversy
And i'm not the worst thing since assembly but I am the worst thing since 86 XFree
do use BASIC and JSP and used it to get myself wealthy
Here's a concept that works twenty million new coders emerge
but no matter how many fish in the sea half of them can't even code C
Now this looks like a job for C So everybody, just code in C
