Can you expand on why you say 5, 6 are counter-productive? Bear 
in mind that even in human society, free will itself is limited 
in a lot of ways; by laws, customs, traditions, emotions, 
patterns (eg form follows function) etc. It will be the same for 
machines.

I chose D because of its capabilities (previously stated) as well 
as something I did not mention in my initial post; D is an open 
source, community effort not controlled by any major corporation; 
as much as is possible, strong AI should be owned by all so that 
it does not become a menace (cannot be overemphasised).

On the shamelessly selfish side, the choice of D offers me the 
opportunity to finally learn D after skirting the prospect for a 
number of years. :)

There is also the possibility that certain plugins will be 
written in C# since it has a robust query language implementation 
(LINQ) and is now open source too.
