Comparing Rust and Java

I'm writing OpenGL code. I know lots of languages claim support for OpenGL, but in my opinion dealing with gpu stuff is something best written in C or C++. All the guides, all the answers to questions, all the popular books, everything out there assumes you're using C or C++ when you're working with GPU code. It's fine. I like using C++ for this. OpenGL in any other language and you're a second class citizen at best.

D much like C++ interfaces to C see:

https://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html

D was at one point a C++ compiler but Walter Bright decided to break backward compatibility with C syntactically to allow the language to evolve in ways that C restricts, while still allowing it to interface with C. Sorry if I worded this poorly, but you may want to reconsider D and see for yourself if it feels like a second class citizen or what? There are sample projects interfacing to C projects (LuaD comes to mind).

I first heard about D from Gamedev.net, so you can certainly do OpenGL with it. I believe there have even been commercial games written in D.

Kenta Cho's shooter _Torus Trooper_ is written in D and might make a good example. (It's a damn good game, too.)
