ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

D4 (programming language)

D4 is like a special language that people who like computers use to tell them what to do. When you play a game or use an app on your phone, the things you see and the buttons you can touch are all made by computer programmers using languages like D4.

Think of it like you telling a friend how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You would say things like "get two slices of bread, spread peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other, then put them together." In D4, programmers write instructions like "create a new window with a button that says 'click me', then make it turn blue when someone clicks on it."

Just like you have to use the right words and order to make a sandwich, programmers have to use the right code and order to make computer programs work the way they want them to. D4 is one of many languages they can use to make cool things happen on their computers.
