New D language pumps up programmer productivity

>> so to any beginner interested in learning a programming language, pls go the .NET way or the java way and save yourself alot of hassle.

Rah rah rah. Rah rah rah. Go.....oh managed code. Yeah.

[Putting pom-poms away...] I think you need to do a little more than cheering to sell the "managed code" you are selling. The key is well-supported FOSS tools (if you are a beginner and are in it for $$ or productivity), and there are various groups depending on what your needs are.

FOSS gives you the most leverage, of course. To consider an example, even with several huge monopolies, Microsoft cannot knock various established FOSS platforms on their derrieres. These are only growing stronger. D may very well become a force to reckon with in 5 years.
