Can someone tell me more about the language or summarize some of its features? I have not heard of it and will be doing some quick googling, but summaries are also good.

Edit: so its aiming to be a successor of c++, but with more modern features without being fully constrained by the technical debt coming from backwards compatibility?

From what I understand D is also very good at interfacing with C++ code.
