I decided to rewrite Stockfish using D language in October, 2019. It's trendy - lots of developers train their programming skills while rewriting some programs.
Why did I choose D? I chose D because it has better optimization instead of C++, faster compilators, and main idea in D was using RAM without bugs and to use RAM faster. Also, D supports CUDA/CUDNN/OpenCL so you can run D programs in D on your videocard. So D is better that C++.
First I decided to download useful tools (you can use this post to start programming in D!):
Visual Studio 2019 (You need it to install Visual D, and compile some .sln if you will learn C++ too)
Visual D - IDE Plugin for Visual Studio.
DMD - Official D Compiler.
GDC - Compiler based on GCC
LDC - Compiler based on LLVM
DMC - Compiler for old D projects.
Use DMD to compile little projects, LDC for Android support, GDC for big projects, and DMC to compile old projects.
Read https://dlang.org/download.html (DMC isn't at list)
