"And then there is a similar language [to C/C++] called D.
This is slightly more modern than C++. It has more
flexibility in the syntax of the language. I couldn't find
very much information on how to make games in D, but if you
are really interested in this, I mean if you are really into
programming already and want to see something new, then you
should look up D, because that's a very interesting language
for one that is a nerd like me. Alright, but let's move on to
slightly more higher level languages. So we have Java..."

The slide reads:

D

o Also a compiled language
o More modern than C++
o Maybe not mature for game development yet
o To get started: http://dlang.org/

The point is to make them know.

The problem is time, there is never enough time... :/

But my university will see soon how powerful D can be: my 
bachelor thesis program is written in D. And after that there is 
maybe enough time to participate on "One game month" 
(http://www.onegameamonth.com/) with Dgame.
