Steve Yegge's latest article has a ratter nice quote about D:

"D's a really beautiful language. By rights it should be the next C++.
However, C++ programmers won't have it because it's garbage collected
(even though it can be disabled, and even though Stroustroup himself is
now advocating adding garbage collection to C++). Walter Bright is one
hell of a lot smarter than the C++ programmers who won't look at his
language, and he has demonstrated that D is as fast as or faster than
C++ and nearly as expressive as Ruby or Python. It's a secret weapon
just waiting to be seized by some smart company or open-source project."
This article is ooolde. :)
