How is D a new language? It is 11 years old.

Writting a complex thing like a web browser in C/C++ is idiotic.
I have personally be using strongly typed garbage collected lanugages
since 1985. There are plenty of them that are reasonably high performance,
including Mainsail, Java, Eiffel, C#, and others. Even Ada 83 allows for garbage collection...

D is 11 year old, but D2 (which had many change) is younger and anyway it is much more young that Ada which has a sane way to handle integers..
