Visit D Programming Language

D is a general-purpose programming language with static typing, systems-level access, and C-like syntax. It is designed for writing, reading, and running code efficiently, combining modern convenience, modeling power, and native efficiency. The language supports automatic memory management, scoped resource management (RAII), and scope statements for deterministic transactional code.

D includes built-in linear and associative arrays, slices, and ranges, along with static type inference that deduces types and code properties. It provides compile-time operations, parallel initialization, and support for invoking external programs. The ecosystem includes DMD as the compiler, Phobos as the standard library, and DUB as the package manager. Tooling includes run.dlang.io for experimenting with code, Visual D, and IDE/editor integration for linting, formatting, and completion. The language is available for download, with documentation covering the language specification, Phobos library reference, and DMD manual.
