What is 'D' programming language? People started developing application using this language? who found? Can I know more about this new programming language?
The web site is at http://dlang.org
The D programming language, also known simply as D, is an object-oriented, imperative, multi-paradigm system programming language designed by Walter Bright of Digital Mars. It originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is predominantly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of it. D has redesigned some C++ features and has been influenced by concepts used in other programming languages, such as Java, C#, and Eiffel. [Wikipedia]

I was wondering, which programming language I should use if I want to make a GUI installer for a Linux Distro? Is it GTK? or ?
Something like this: http://www.castellan.net/linux_firewall/fedora_install_1.jpg more or less.
It's for ArchLinux I want to try.
You can use any language for which there are bindings for a GUI toolkit supported on your target platform. Some examples:
C and GTK+.
C++ and gtkmm.
C++ and Qt.
C# and Gtk#.
Python and PyGTK.
Python and PyQt.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.
In other words: start with a language you are comfortable with, and see if there is a usable GUI toolkit available for it, either natively-implemented in that language or through bindings.

I don't know if this is a proper question, but if I want to write a Sokoban game in Haskell (or other functional programming languages), what's the differences with writing it in C? [Edit: does Haskell have any advantages over C in Sokoban ?]
I would like to ask this question because of two reasons. First, my only interest in programming is to write Sokoban programs (I have already written several sokoban programs). Second, I've read some introduction/tutorial articles about Haskell, but have no idea how these new methods can be applied to the Sokoban logic.

I came across one question like this
a="hello", b="bye", c=a*b
then what will the anwser of print c?
That depends on the implementation of the * operator on string data types. And that usually depends on the programming language you use. In most statically typed languages I know, this operator is not defined on strings.
In JavaScript, the value of c will be NaN.
It's a trick question, I think. You can't multiply a string with another string. I don't think any language allows this.

In this programming world of ours we see C sharp and Java on the top. But these have rich library of thousand classes and function which become more richer with their new editions. Can we have a programming language which can give us more creativity and innovation inspite of this ever increasing library based languages ?
There are plenty of such languages: Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Erlang and plenty of others. You just need to stop trolling and do your homework.
Assembly. Can't get much more free then that.
In fact any decent library or framework is a language itself. A domain specific language. Of course you could have all the same functionality in form of a variety of "proper" DSLs, but it won't be that much different from the current state.

Is it possible to be an expert at multiple programming languages and platforms (e.g. C#/.NET, **Objective-C/Cocoa, Java/Spring...Hibernate) assuming you spend 5-10 years developing software with it.
Or is it always going to lead to being good at one thing and mediocre at the rest?
To put it in different words: To focus or not to focus in one development language/platform.
PS: Please don't bring up Jon Skeet as an example. We all know he doesn't have to even learn programming languages; programming languages learn from him. Our assumption is an average developer.
A lot of .Net Developers came from Java or C++ background. So, yes I have seen several developers work on different platforms. I have worked on C, C++, Perl, AWK, JBOSS/SEAM, LAMP, and .NET stacks. There are people who know more languages than myself. More importantly you should work on mid-large projects to fully get the experience. The fundamentals are the same. Every language or stack has the same challenges when it comes to concurrency, exception handling, etc,...
Yes. In fact, many programmers and other computer-related are required to be adept at more than 4 languages. Especially in web development, as much knowledge in as many programming languages is a asset.
Also, expanding on multiple programming languages expands a person's knowledge. New programming languages are popping up all the time, and sooner or later old languages will be overtaken by new ones.
It is good to be mediocre at many languages, and good at many other languages. Do not focus on only one, and do not focus on all of them.
