Has North Korea been contributing to the D Language Foundation? Have they been invited to the quarterly meetings to let us know the problems they're running into? | |||

The article is mainly fluffy nonsense and the slashdot discussion is pathetic. It is interesting that D is being used for malware, maybe because it has a different signature to C/C++ executables and the hackers are hoping it can sidestep some malware identification techniques. | |||

That can be a problem. The risk is that at some point the signatures of the AV software got based on the D runtime functions, instead of the actual threatening code, creating case of false positives. Let's joke a bit: hopefully the group wrote their stuff in -betterC. | |||
