Hi!
One of our best C++ programmers Andrei Alexandrescu, recently decided to
leave his work and focus completely on the programming language D.
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/xsqrdgwnze...@forum.dlang.org
Today his book The D Programming Language is on sale at informit.com for
a bargain. http://www.informit.com/deals/
If you missed the sale you can still find it here.

It's good to have Alexandrescu back on programming language research
since he contributes a lot, not only to D but also C++.
Here's another book he has written that is a great start for anyone that
wants to become more handy with templates.

PS. No I'm not paid to write this, it's just that Alexandrescu's books,
talks, and work in general have contributed a lot to the programming
community and to me personally. :)

I've watched lots of D presentations by Alexandrescu but for some

reason nothing resonated with me. Are there any key features that
made you like D or is it just the overall feel and interaction of
many smaller properties that makes programming in D fun for you?
(Personally, I find another language much more attractive as C++
alternative. No, it's not Go.)
Cheers!

No, I haven't taken a look into D, I just bought the book. What I think

is good is that Alexandrescu is helping the D community out developing
their language, making him able to see what could also work for C++ that
he knows inside out. For that reason I think Alexandrescu is a great
asset to the C++ community too.
