We should look into what a D binding for MPI would look like (unofficial binding for now). Rajeev Begin forwarded message:

well writing and the language is an improvement on C and C++

I'm writing code (small things for far) but I'm very impressed. Its very close to C but fixes many things and is much safer and is cleaner than C++. Feels very good writing code in it.

I'm becoming a big fan of the language D. I'm starting to be convinced that we should think about a MPI binding for it. As far as I can tell that has not yet been done. Is there any interest in MCS in doing this and any idea what the order of magnitude of effort is?
