I originally wrote a slide titled "D as Better C", and since I was in München at the time, it suddenly morphed into "Das Better C" and so the pun was born.
In my head it is always said with a German accent.
If I was the marketing manager of D I would turned this "pun" into Super Hype.
And yes this got me interested in D. I always knew of its existence but for some reason I never really looked into it.
Try it out, I’m thoroughly enjoying learning it at the moment and it really does feel like “better C”. The only thing I dislike is that the official docs are so thorough that they’re not very approachable to a novice (but much appreciated once you grok D’s features). I’ve found this book to be a better programmer’s introduction with lots of useful examples https://www.packtpub.com/product/d-cookbook/9781783287215
Lol thank you for that. I thought that was a joke language like Enterprise.
In German, it would have been besser, not better.
It wasn't aiming for correct spelling, nor correct grammar for that matter.
Rather, I think one can compare it to something like "Das Keyboard"[0].
