Moving to D

[Adrian Mercieca]

Hi,

One other question....

How does D square up, performance-wise, to C and C++ ?
Has anyone got any benchmark figures?

How does D compare in this area?

Also, is D more of a Windows oriented language?
Do the Linux and OSX versions get as much attention as the Windows one?

Thanks.
Adrian.
