I don't know about that... I too think that maybe it was a clumsy 
way of doing it but I'm not sure that we would have had such 
critics if Python (eg.) had been choosen to write the examples, 
even with not very pythonic code.

Maybe it should have been backed up with another language not to 
put the comparison on D alone.

Bad publicity is better than no publicity in many cases. There's 
no reason why this couldn't play out right in the end.
