Just out of curiosity: Which aspect of D do you find interesting enough
to make it worth spending your own time to discuss on the D mailing
list? From your message it seems that you find the whole concept of D
pointless. Personally, if I find a project pointless, I typically
choose to ignore it...

Strawman.
Still, there are many problems that can be solved in D far more
elegantly than in other languages.
Theoretically, huh. Until they are [solved with/by D] though, there really
is not product there, huh. And I hear this a book trying to capitalize on
this "personal D R&D" thing. Have they considered LSD and offering Koolaid
when it all comes crashing down?
And since programmers are humans,
elegance is essential for correctness and managability of code.
That was certainly a statement of wishful thinking, I suggest though, it was
a statement of unknowing. "D" doesn't know what the problem is.
