I wish I had known about D like a decade ago. I swear it was just too ahead of its time.

I've tried it a decade ago, and it wasn't ready back then. It was split between D1 and D2, and Tango and Phobos. That was super annoying, because whatever documentation or library you'd find, it was most likely for a different combination of D+std than you had.

Enjoy D now when it's more mature. The betterC switch is especially interesting.

Its a great language. I suspect the problem was it tried to out java java (GC!) and it kind of tried to out C++ C++
