Dtrace debugger, then the answer is yes. Is there another D?

According to Google search and Wikipedia there is and it is a
development of c++.
"It originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is
predominantly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of C++. D
has redesigned some C++ features and has been influenced by concepts

I have a bad memory of B. I went for an interview at the Genome Project
in Cambridge.
They wanted a B programme re-written in C++. It came down to the last

I submitted an STL programme which was a general solution to their

Brilliant book.
Copy saved.
