D is a language following in the footsteps of the C-language family. It has the same general syntax, so anyone familiar with C, C++, Java or C# should be able to easily pick up the language. You should see thelanguage comparison page for more details.
Since this page is about a short introduction to D, why not start with the all-famousHello World.
importstd.stdio;voidmain(){writefln("Hello World!");}
For the experienced C programmer, the import and writefln should look strange. We will discuss them in later chapters.
