At very least they should acknowledge all of you guys for the

As I said at DConf, D is the N word of C++. It's actually
comical to watch the lengths at which some folks in the
community go to not mention D.
Anyhow, C++ playing catch up means we're doing the right things
and they shoot where we were a while ago. I hope the next thing
for us is Design by Introspection, which is going to knock the
socks off everyone.

This compile-time duck-typing thing does ring like something from
the future, and it is interestingly different from C++'s concepts
/ Rust traits / Haskell typeclasses. It's gonna be useful
whenever one wants to write a good abstraction for X (which is
super hard).
