Looks like we've got a D page now! Thanks, JMRyan!

Okay.  I added a D entry.  It should be checked for accruacy.  I haven't added programming examples yet; I'll add at least the three example types shown on at http://progopedia.com/ (Hello world, Factorial, Fibonacci).

D has come a long way!

Excellent, thanks JMNorris! This is exactly the kind of publicity D needs now.

On the C++ page, I see:

Physical (shallow) equality	a == b
Physical (shallow) inequality	a != b
Deep equality	*a == *b (a and b are pointers)
Deep inequality	*a != *b (a and b are pointers)

On the D page, I see:

Physical (shallow) equality	x == y
Physical (shallow) inequality	x != y
Deep equality	x is y
Deep inequality	x !is y

I'm not sure which is right, but I don't think they can both be right as "x is y" is more like "x == y" in C++ than "*x == *y". I might be wrong here; as I am a bit confused about this.

This is a similar site, with a lot more things (many programs are done by downs and me): http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:D

Another similar site, that recently has lost most of its contents, and now it is rebuilding itself: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/Category:D

This is empty, but I'd like to see some D versions: http://en.literateprograms.org/Category:Programming_language:D

Wow, all those programs in Rosetta Code and no hello world? :-)  It looks like you and downs have done lots of good work.

I think you are correct "is" in D does to pointers what "==" does in C++.
