The pragmatic C++ — compile-time function evaluation and clean metaprogramming in a language that never got its marketing budget.

Influenced by C++
Created by Walter Bright

Walter Bright's D (2001) — 'C++ done right' — kept the systems power and added modules, GC, CTFE (compile-time function execution), and better templates.\n\nIt never beat C++ or Rust but influenced both; @safe and DMD/LDC/GDC compilers are current.
