Introduction
What is D?

  • D is a high level programming language for applications and systems programming.
  • D is a compiled language like C/C++, no bytecode like in Java, no interpreter like in Perl.
  • D is targetted to iron out several design flaws of C/C++. You can think of D as an upgraded version of C++, as the syntax is fairly similar - although it is probably more than that.

If you want to know more about the philosophy behind the D language, look at Walter Bright's explanations: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/overview.html

To do: Add more of the D philosophy here because it is really great :)
