where to start?
Yeah the D programming language, https://dlang.org/ one of my favorite languages to program in. It's unfortunately not used a lot in bioinformatics, and deserves more attention in my opinion. E.g. sambamba for working with sam/bam files is written in it (https://github.com/biod/sambamba) it's one of the most performant tools for working with NGS data because it uses async io and fibers.
