Walter Bright talks about D and his desire to improve on systems programming languages. Many successful concepts from other languages like JavaScript, PERL, Ruby, Lisp, Ada, Erlang, Python, etc., have had a significant influence on D, he says. He adds: "D 1.0 was pretty straightforward stuff, being features that were adapted from well-trod experience in other languages. D 2.0 has ventured into unexplored territory that doesn't have a track record in other languages. Since these capabilities are unproven, they generate some healthy skepticism. Only time will tell."

Taken from the article: "D will be the first choice of languages for systems and applications work that require high performance along with high programmer productivity."
If this can be achieved, I'll be all over it. For some time now I've wanted an environment that produces fast native code but with the productivity of environments like .Net and Realbasic. Hopefully when D V2 goes gold we'll have something to really take programming to the next level.
