I see that Slashdot[1] has come across Digital Mars'[2] "D" programming
language (again?). I'm trying to remember how many other "D" programming
languages I've heard of before - can anyone help?

DDJ #358 (March 2004), article titled "Collection Enumeration --
Loops, Iterators and Nested Functions". Abstract is: "Yes, all
languages do it, but D's approach is different". It references "The D
Programming Language" by Walter Bright, DDJ, February 2002.
Not sure if it's the same as the one on slashdot.
Interesting side note: The same issue of DDJ details S-XML, a language
for manipulating XML trees. To quote: "Specifically, S-XML represents
XML elements with S-expressions". (have I mentioned this before on
9fans? deja-vu?)

Walter Bright has a special place in my memory, I wonder what happened
to him? He eventually sold Zortech to Symantec (I presume). This
happened to be a surprisingly complete C++ (version 1 and version 2)
compiler suite for the 8086 and later processors. I still use it
occasionally, largely for small C utilities.
I found it all pretty impressive, for what my opinion may be worth.
In fact, his C++ compiler would, again in my opinion, complement Plan
9 rather successfully. Pity the source is not, to the best of my
knowledge, in the public domain.

See www.digitalmars.com. He has D compilers for x86 Linux and Windows.
