Origins of the D Programming Language

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Over the past few months, Walter, Mike, and myself have been working on 
a draft submission for the HOPL 2020 conference (History of Programming 
Languages).

The submission proceeds in several stages. Currently we've been through 
one round of preliminary review. Here is the current draft:

We'd appreciate feedback and additional historical details.


Thanks,

Andrei (on behalf of Walter and Mike as well)
