It's a real possibility that Microsoft may chose dlang some 
day.But there are also other possibilities.Perhaps one day a more 
advanced and secure language will be invented as the rapid 
development of computers.Dlang does have some unique advantages-- 
It has redesigned some core C++ features, while also sharing 
characteristics of other languages, notably Java, Python, Ruby, 
C#, and Eiffel. The language as a whole is not memory-safe, but 
does include optional attributes designed to check memory safety.
