oh yeah, you are right. That's one thing I do like about D though: I find it so much easier to remember (perhaps because I wrote most the libs I use myself). I forget the difference between stuff like substr and substring in Javascript or chop and chomp in Ruby and so on. I have to refer to the docs to remember this stuff, even when I write it all the time.

I find D's ways to be much easier to store in the brain, despite D arguably being a bigger, more complex language.

Maybe because the static type system allows for overloading and so all of these utility functions don't have to do a million different things depending on what you pass to them.
