Agreed. I avoid dynamic languages like the plague. I'll only touch them when I have to or when I need a script which won't require recompilation to run (and if D ever becomes widespread enough that you can reasonably rely on it being on a Linux system, then all of my scripts will probably be written in D). Dynamic typing is evil. - Jonathan M Davis
