How I Came to Write D
The path that led Walter Bright to write a language, now among the top 20 most used, began with curiosity and an insult.
Hasnain says:
"A couple years later, D first appeared on Slashdot and it rapidly started attracting users and collaborators. Turns out, I am hardly a unique person in what I want from a language! D grew dramatically in ambition, with collaborators from all over the world. It wasn't until a few months ago at Dconf2013 that we even knew what each other looked like. (This is one of the greatest aspects of the Internet revolution: You can work successfully with others while knowing nothing about their sex, age, looks, race, religion, language, culture, disabilities, histories, etc. It's as pure a meritocracy as it gets. Only your ideas, contributions, and how you present yourself matter.)"
