Has anyone looked into the D programming language? From afar, it looks
"nice" - it seems well-suited for systems programming, like a
substantially-cleaned-up C++ or a Java that gives you more raw
control. Digital Mars' D compiler also falls just under gcc's C
compiler in the computer language shootout's CPU comparisons. I've
never used it, though.

D binds you to one particular compiler, supporting 1-2 platforms (I'm
not sure if Digital Mars supports Linux).

What if DM will go out of business?

There is a gcc frontend as well:

http://dgcc.sourceforge.net/

It's also available under Cygwin, and also as MinGW derivative:

http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/

What if you will want to port to
Macintosh?

Ta-daaa...:

http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/

I've been looking for excuses to use D for a long time...
