And the language itself, while certainly no D, is at least an improvement over using PHP directly. So it's still a net win, just not as big of a win as it could be. > have you made a bug report?

It does have room for improvement, though. In fact I ended up hacking up a few things in it. But yea, I've been really itching to make one in D. But hell, with more immediate paid(-ish) work in the way, it's taking me long enough just to get the next version of my Goldie project out.
