actually, garen as refine is metallurgy slang (says dict.leo.org)
More appropriate translations would be "boil the limit" or "even the limit" (taking gar as a short form of sogar)

Isn't that called the D programming language as well? If so, then "Written in the D programming language." is not going to help much.
Maybe it should be "Written in the Digital Mars D programming language."
