D is a programming language, originally created by Walter Bright (from Digital Mars). Originally, the idea was to fix up some parts of C++, but in the meantime, some parts have completely changed. Even though the syntax of the D programming language is similar to that of C++, it is not a variant.

The D language is a suitable language for OS development, as some people on the forums have already stated. It might, however, require some extra changes. There is also a tutorial available on how to build a D cross compiler (using GDC).
