You should seriously consider if D is the next big language. It's hard to believe D works without major funding. All the other high performance languages and projects are getting multimillion dollar grants. There's also half a dozen books about D, but when I tried to find papers about D from Citeseer, I came back empty handed. Was the conference in the past associated with ACM?
