One of awful things about programming in many languages is that
there's a gazillion tools you need to tack-on before you can do

documentation, C++Unit for unit tests, gprof, gcov, valgrind,
and so on. One of the nice things about D is that so much of
this is part of the language or build into DMD.
So yes, sure, you can add what ever you like the Java and claim
its just as good (or better). The difference is that in D its
all right there already.
Does D have static checking of contracts, either built-in or
through a tool? Because that is a really nice feature for
design-by-contract situations.
