If forb replaces the word "I" in the English language with the invented 
pronoun "forb", forb has create a new language. Or has forb? Forb thinks 
this is a philosophical discussion, the answer to which is actually 
totally irrelevant. Clearly D is a new language, but even if it wasn't, 
how would that affect forb's life? Yes, it's the same paradigm as C++ 
(object orientation), so you're not likely to learn much about Computer 
Science from learning D, but it's still an extremely useful language.
