Does anyone know if the Gnome guys have looked into D as their future language ? Is there any reason why D wouldn't be suitable ? I haven't used D my self, but from looking over the DigitalMars page, it looks quite nice, providing the advantages over C some Gnome people are looking for (higher level than C, garbage collection, ...) And most importantly, there should't be any patent or other legal problems with using it.
