Out of curiosity I searched for "reasons to use D" and I found

This paragraph called my attention:
"At the same time, D doesn’t get all New Age on you: It doesn’t
try to be multi-paradigm, it doesn’t claim “five percent better
than C” performance, nor does it provide any language features
that dramatically alter the existing object-oriented
programming status quo."
Sorry, but D _is_ multi-paradigm and it does challenge (not
actively though) the OOP "status quo".
It's ironic, BECAUSE D is multi-paradigm it allows the author to
believe it's not. When you have a C like syntax and a language
that allows you to write your Java like code, and if you don't
know about ranges, then I can easily see how this could be the
author's opinion.
