Hi all, I just saw an interesting article about a programming language that's under development called "D". (See full article at http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6761) The description of the language is, "D is a (relatively) new addition to the C family of programming languages, intended as a successor to C++ but also incorporating ideas and improvements from other C-like languages such as Java and C#. It is an object-oriented, garbage-collected, systems programming language that is compiled to executable rather than bytecode. The specification and reference compiler are currently at version 0.82, and are expected to reach 1.0 within the year. The reference compiler runs on both Windows and Linux x86, and the frontend if Open-Sourced. A port of the frontend to GCC is underway and already functional on Linux x86 and Mac OS X."
Has anyone here looked into the security strengths/weaknesses of D? Care to discuss or summarize for the rest of us? Does it inherit the problems of C while trying to improve on C++ et al? Cheers, Ken van Wyk -- KRvW Associates, LLC http://www.KRvW.com
