For those that remember far enough back, you will have *cough* fond memories of Al Dev ... he seems to have resurfaced, and I figured that this "enlightened posting" might be a nice end to a week for some :)

Since PostgreSQL, MySQL is written in "C", there is a migration away from "C" to its successor "D" language. So, there should be plan to make migration from "C" to "D" in near future. It can be gradual as "D" can link together "C" objects. So the future version of PostgreSQL like PostgreSQL Version 12 will be written in 100% D language. You would be interested in looking at this 'Language shootout Page'. After 30 years of C and C++ now the D language is superceding the C/C++. "C" language evolved from "B" language and B from A. The process of evolution is A->B->C->D and after 30 years there may be "E" language which will supercede "D". The D-language is the "top number one" in ranking getting about 135 points(with weightage of 1 each to cpu, mem, codelines). The next in the list is OCML from France (http://caml.inria.fr ). The D-language is still evoling and guess is it will be GA and in production in about a year's time. The currently OCML is declared as a "Super Power of Computer Languages". The OCML is GA and is in production deployment in many big companies like "France Telecom", AirBus Industry, Boeing Corp, many mega-large companies in Europe, Japan, USA and China. Computer language is the backbone of the world economy!! Computer language is multi-billion dollar market.
