Not my native language and I don't trust Google translate enough to do that.

Next time, instead of pointing to the changelog, I have to write 
the article for them. Anyway, better than nothing.

Here's my _quick_ translation of the article. There was one 
passage that was a bit awkward in German (should never have been 
published like that) so I didn't try to be "loyal" to the 
original. Please, point out any mistakes I made, but don't start 
splitting hairs :)

Here's the text in English:

Not only young programming languages like Go and Rust that are 
frequently mentioned in the media are constantly evolving. D that 
aims to challenge C++ has reached another milestone.

With the advent of new systems programming languages like 
Google’s Go and the Mozilla Foundation’s Rust the D Programming 
Language got less media coverage, although many new features of 
C++11 and C++14 had already been part and parcel of  D.

Self-hosting D

What’s worth mentioning now is that with the latest version 2.069 
[sic!] the D compiler DMD is now written in D. A new feature like 
this is always an accolade for a programming language and a sign 
of a certain maturity. In addition to this, the standard library 
now features a module for memory allocation. Apart from being 
able to call C and C++ functions directly, Objective-C functions 
can now be accessed too. There is mention of more than 160 bug 
fixes on Twitter.

The fact the next DConf, the most important D developer 
conference worldwide, will take place in Berlin adds some local 
flavor [the article was written in German]. The dates are 4.-6. 
May 2016. The call for papers has already started. D developers 
can send in papers until the 26. February.

D in four sentences

Shortly after the C++98 standard had been published in 1999, the 
inventor of D, Walter Bright, set out to develop a new 
object-oriented, imperative programming language that borrowed 
heavily from C++. In the following years, he and other developers 

Ruby and Python. In January 2007, Bright presented version 1.0, 
which an older article on heise Developer[1] refers to. From 2007 
till 2010 the developers worked on version 2.x.

that's neat, but you forget the discussion gives some negative 
picture except for the few D guys from this forum?? that hold 
against it.

Yes but the original post only quotes the article and reads:

"in essence:

no killer feature and as interesting as brainfuck

-> and they didn't know about the problems with windows after 
installation"

which is nowhere to be found in the article itself (which in turn 
is quite skinny and does not give readers any deep insights). 
Also, "tester" is the name you get, if you don't fill in the form 
with name and email when you post here (isn't it?).

Could that be a troll, a word I don't use light-heartedly? I 
thought people here should get a translation rather than relying 
on someone's interpretation of an article in a language not 
everyone on this forum speaks.
