Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty close to publishing the
benchmarks, they'll go in a doc file in the repository. They
weren't quite complete when the meetup happened.
Regarding a blog post - I haven't talked to Mike Parker, if
there's interest I'd be open to it.
As to why the tools compare so well - That's a really intriguing
question, especially since the tools favor using high level
constructs from D / Phobos rather than hand-built data structures
or memory management. I have hypotheses, but no sure answers.
Some of it likely involves design choices rather than language
facilities per se, but even so, it's a good story for D.
