Motivated by Dmitry's "Pitching D to a gang of Gophers" thread,
how about pitching it to a gang of professors and graduate

I will be presenting D to such an audience at METU in Ankara.
What are the points that you would stress? I am thinking that
they would be interested more in whether D is better as a
teaching tool. Do you agree?

I would insist heavily on the multiparadigm properties of D:
being able to teach C-like imperative programming, java-like OOP,
compilers and assembly, purity and functional paradigms, testing
and profiling, all that without having to change language even
once is likely to be D's strongest strength for a teacher I think.
