I have been keeping up with progress on D and noticed that many of the semantics of python have been added. I am guessing that it is just a case of the newer building on the older, but I really like it! Interesting observation.

I'll try to pay attention to that in the future. Thanks for the info. @Anon: I changed the wording to “(although my Python experience is catching up fast)” which is hopefully clearer.

Many native English speakers get somewhat edgy when they see or hear phrases like "Russia pressing free trade agreement" even though news anchors absolutely *adore* the form. There is more than one way to align your title with the most persnickety of English speakers; one option is "Python Syntax is Influencing New Languages" HTH Ah, I see you have used the dreaded “news headline gerund” in your article title.

It's actually very interesting; it's essentially Python + Static Typing + Type Inference + a 'Duck' type. It's also targetting the CLR which probably gives it the most available libraries of the pythonic langs mentioned.
