So, how did all this start?

D++ began in the summer of 1999 when I wanted to make a program that had an impact on people, as at the time I had not created any programs worthy of note to anyone. At the time of it's creation I was 12 and at computer camp, working on it as a side project. Near the end of July, the first version was completed. D++ v1.0 was extremely similar. The IDE consisted only of two text boxes and some menus, and the language itself only supported basic I/O, some limited variable support, a few other random commands (like 'title' or 'box') and compiling. But D++ was impressive because it was so unique. I submitted it to Planet Source Code, one of the largest code archives on the internet. D++ won the superior coding contest award in August. (See below for detail)

From this point on, D++ steadily advanced. If statements were the first thing that I needed to add, and probably have been the most problematic commands in all of D++. The first version of it was simple, however provided no nested support. From there they were modified in every release, including the most recent D4. Better expression handling was implemented and loops were added. The next major version was D++2, which was a huge improvement over the previous release. It included a complete IDE as well was the most functionality.

A little more recently.... [ugh, I'm tired, I'll finish this later]
