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."

    Well, I guess with all the "I can't build GAIM from scratch because of lib.foo.so!" rants from Eugenia, then maybe they've become 31337 h4X0r5, but when was the last time that OSNews had anything decent or insightful? I'm surprised that there's been no bitching about 'theming' this new language.
