[Sussex] RE: The 'D' programming language

[Dominic]

Fantastic...
This means I can continue working with the OS that I am growing to
appreciate more and more.  I can learn to work with languages such as C++
and Perl whilst being able to keep up with the skills required to keep me
employed :)

Another winner from the open source community!

...or should I read a bit closer?  Surely it can't be that easy?...  I'll
find out soon.

Dominic
