Hi,

just for the records: D is mentioned in "Secure Coding in C and C++", 2nd edition, by Robert C. Seacord as a secure alternative to C and C++.
(http://www.informit.com/store/secure-coding-in-c-and-c-plus-plus-9780321822130)

This citation is from page 25:

"D is a general-purpose systems and applications programming language.
D is based largely on the C++ language but drops features such as C source
code compatibility and link compatibility with C++, allowing D to provide
syntactic and semantic constructs that eliminate or at least reduce common
programming mistakes [Alexandrescu 2010]."

:-)

Regards,
Kai
