[off-topic] Sony releases PS Vita SDK

[Paulo Pinto]

It seems the major companies are all backing proprietary languages for their
systems. Similar to what used to be the case in the mainframe era, where 
each
OS had its own language, kind of.

Which from their point of view (not ours, of course) makes sense, as it 
bounds
applications to their OS.

What I don't get is why no large software company is backing up D
right now. It's quite clear by now that D is by far the language
that has the best feature set to be the successor to C++.

If IBM for example was helping D like they did for eclipse, the
traction would be huge and the toolchain would stabilize so much
faster. :(
