It is funny to note that every time these new fans of D come from the C / C++ / Java community. It is well known that those languages have long been in a stagnant stage and if the developers just had courage to try modern languages, *any* language would have a fresh feel. It is really no wonder that those languages are starting to feel irritating in daily work. I have never heard of a Eiffel / Ada / Erlang / Lisp / Clojure / Scala / Haskell / SML / OCaml / Nemerle /<insert your favorite statically typed compiled language here> zealot who suddenly found the enlightenment in D.
D isn't meant as a language to enlighten people, it isn't a religion, it's a language meant to get things done with.
