D is an improved, more polished version of _C++_, not C; "-betterC" mode is misleading, it is more of a "betterC++" mode (features: classes, exceptions, RAII, templates). "The simplicity of C is more useful than the additional features of C++." -- (Sam Watkins) s/C++/D/g Don't get me wrong: D would be a great replacement for _C++_, but not C. For a better C I would look at a subset of Go (GC would have to go away).
