digitalmars.D.announce - D article in Linux Journal

Ameer Armaly has written a nice article on D for Linux Journal and it appears
in the March 2007 issue.  I'm not sure if it's public on the site for another
month or two, but subscribers can get a look, if they haven't received their
paper copy.

It's quite a long and comprehensive article, spanning 6 pages.  Ameer does a
great job covering a vast language in the alotted space, though, hitting on
highlights for the Java and scripting language crowd, as well as the hard-core
C/C++ readers.

OT: Ameer Armaly is a prof in my CS department!  I'll have to talk to him. 
I'll be giving a(n informal) talk about D in a few weeks, so maybe he'll be 
able to help out.

Unfortunately the article's not yet public for non-subscribers.

Scratch that.  I got Ameer confused with a very similar-sounding prof in my
department.  Nevermind.

Compiled and /managed/ language D?  

What does the "managed" mean here? :)

Disappointing that I can't actually read the article.  What a tease you
are Brad.

'Managed' is a term invented by Microsoft that means 'cool'. I'm sure
it can be applied to D. D is managed, i.e. cool.

Seriously, I know about the only meaning of 'managed programming
language' - a language that is compiled into the intermidiate language
that can be executed by the common language runtime aka .NET Framework
or Mono

Ooh, yeh -- If this issue sells like hotcakes it might mean more 
coverage for D in the future.  :-)

I don't think they carry Linux Journal at my local Tsutaya, but I'll 
take a look.

This artice is available for free now.  I bought the magazine too, but I 
haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
