Nice work.  The blog post is a bit short though: it might benefit 
from some usage samples showing how the equivalent D code is much 
nicer to write and read.  The benchmark source shows that the C 
API calls are much longer than D, highlight that in the post.

People don't just want speed and portability, they want ease of 
use.  Show them that D will be easier.
