介绍一门新语言：D语言

简单地说，D语言是一门新的编程语言，包含了C++、C# 跟 Java的长处，补充了它们的不足。

D语言的作者 Walter Bright (就一个人哦，暴强!!!)是大名鼎鼎的Symantec C++ compiler的作者，所以这门语言还是值得期待的。
目前的版本是D 0.103，Oct 20, 2004. (关注中, 期待新版本...)

其主页上介绍的特性很多，在我看来，主要还是其垃圾回收机制：
与C++相比，D语言采用了垃圾回收机制(GC)，将程序员从指针堆里解放出来；
与C#/Java相比，其垃圾回收机制不需要虚拟机，运行速度提高，依赖性降低；
是C/C++的高效性与JAVA的安全性之结合。
