Is this really correct? The impression i've got of D is that it started as "Take C, remove everything that sucks and add other nice features". It surely looks more like C / C++ than some functional langage too me.
The "Most similar to" feature is not necessarily a reflection of the language's features, but of how closely they rank in the questions (which are largely subjective, and lack technical depth.)
You're correct though, in terms of features, D is closer to C++, C#, Java.
- Most similar to: F# - Most disimilar to: C
