No. D is not C#.
D is an unsafe language.
C# is a safe language.
Like that? :)
If you mean memory safety, then yes and will probably forever be for
all practical uses (unless D gets implemented on a Java or .net like VM).
Oh how cool. So it turns out that SafeD can be 100% implemented on a
safe VM. It's great to give a well-defined target to potential
implementers.
I'm not sure. On Java you probably had trouble emulating ref
params/returns, and on .net, you can use pointers anyway. By the way, I
remember someone saying T[new] would be good for implementing
arrays/slices on .net, but it got dumped (I find this funny and absurd
in this context).
