I just like a D post with 1166 upvotes! I think that's a record 
for us, but maybe one of Andrei's got more?


And I do love that we coined the name "Voldemort Type" that has 
now entered the lexicon of programming jargon!


Curiously enough, almost the same post in 2012 only got 100 
upvotes:

Boy oh boy, I just love in every D thread how we get the "my language can do
this too" arguments followed by everyone showing how they're not the same thing.

Mostly we leave it to the C++ people to do that in reddit threads (followed by
the C++ person posting some horrific macro and claiming victory), so it's nice
to see the C# people get in on the action.
