IIRC Dr. Dobbs did an article on D a few years ago.  Is that 
publication? (I don't have it anymore, and I don't know for certain that 
it was in a print edition.  Do those matter?)

FWIW, no library that I have access to has any information on any 
computer language less than about a decade old, except for some 
magazines to which they are donated subscriptions, and which they don't 
keep around.  (I think they officially retain them for about a year now, 
but they often go missing sooner.)  Even the used book stores around 
here don't stock computer books...which I find quite annoying.
