I've tried D after programming in Perl and wish it had existed when I was in highschool and in my first uni year, so that I could have been taught D instead of Borland C.

It's too bad it didn't make its way into embedded programming where we still have to use C or C++ or dumbed down high level languages, even if it was just for the BetterC part. D-style OOP would be nice as well, though. Maybe LDC and GDC would change that by targeting more platforms and ARM eating the world.

Thank you for creating the language.
