D programming language

There have been several programming languages called D during the history of computing. (This needs elaboration.)

Currently, arguably, the most interesting one is that created by Walter Bright[?]. This language aspires to take the positive features of C, C++ and a few other Algol syntax[?] based programming languages, and to drop the negative features.

A reference document of the language can be found at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index

(This needs elaboration on what differentiates D from its ancestors.)
