I would just like to say "thank you" to John for inviting me to co-present during this meeting, about D. I had a great time meeting some of you, and talking about some of my projects and what D has to offer linux users and FOSS overall.
I will look forward to dropping in on a few more meetings next semester. - Eric http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl/wiki/Enki ----- Original Message ---- From: John Demme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 3:07:21 AM Subject: [UM-LINUX] Last Meeting of the Semester Scheduled I've scheduled that last meeting of the semester: Thursday, May 3rd 7pm The D Programming Language From Wikipedia: "D is an object-oriented, imperative, multiparadigm system programming language by Walter Bright of Digital Mars. It originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is predominantly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of C++. D has redesigned some C++ features and has been influenced by concepts used in other programming languages, such as Java, C# and Eiffel. A stable version, 1.0, was released on January 2, 2007." According to TPCI, D is gaining popularity and is now the 14th most popular language. Take this statistic with however much salt you wish. http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm I'll be doing the presentation. Pie and punch as usual. I hope to see you all there. ~John ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo!
