Anyway I think the speaker (Rob Pike) said something along the lines that "no
new systems

of D (at least that I picked up). Wonder if they ever looked at D or if Walter
knows any of
these people apart from just name?
They started the project in "late 2007", which is one year after D was
released. So I guess D is not considered a "new major systems language".
