Frankly, I don't know what DCT stands for (anyone?), but AA stands for
Associative Array (aka hash, dictionary, etc.).

Welcome aboard!!!

D still has some ways to go (there are still warts in some places), but
I also have to admit that it's closest to my ideal language too. I'm so
sick and fed up of the tedium of C and the convolutions of C++, that I
just can't see myself doing any more C/C++ except for code maintenance.
New projects I would do in D. (Personal projects, anyway... work
projects, I don't get to choose.)

Anyway, D still has some ways to go, meaning that more manpower is
always more than welcome.
