Abstract:

Join us for a discussion led by Walter Bright on the D Programming Language and its programming community.

The D programming language, D is an advanced systems programming language. It is designed to combine the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of today's modern languages such as Ruby and Python. While ts syntax style resembles C/C++, D is multiparadigm language and supports many styles of programming including: imperative, object-oriented and metaprogramming.
