The D Programming Language Andrei Alexandrescu
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

It'll mostly be for people who haven't heard of D yet. Lamenting the “teetering tower of Binary Babel” of the “jerry-rigged” programming languages most of which, he claims, are “still thinly veiled versions of Fortran“. In many ways it's like Racket or Scheme. Let's call it the BOTCH (Bill's Own Twenty-first Century Hacker's) programming language test. Of course This blog post and those following is about my attempts to achieve all of the above using the D programming language. He also looks at the current state of programming languages and explains why we're in the midst of a language "renaissance." The D programming language 2.0 has advanced support for concurrency in it. Unfortunately, I don't know that I'm going to spend a lot of time on it right now. I look forward to using the D programming language in the future. Scala has some things about it that are kind of compelling and a lot that is not. The D programming language combines the compiled speed and to-the-metal access of C++ with the usability and clear syntax of Java or C#. I'll be presenting the D Programming Language at the next monthly BLUG meeting.
