My buddy of mine told me he knows this old guy who used to program anywho he told me it was a very old programming language. He said it started with a D

Can't think of any language that's been that old that starts with a "D", except Delphi, but Delphi is not that old. Ironic enough, there's a language called "D".

If you want a list of languages and links about them, I recommend you check out this url:

Yes, I think so, but that's because old systems were written in it, and you have no other choice. Newer systems don't use it anymore and many are migrating to newer versions.
