Nice work, the reddit likes keep going up.  Nothing new for D 
users, but by encapsulating CTFE in a bite-sized blog post, 
you've gotten some outsiders to pay attention.  Just read perhaps 
the most ringing endorsement I've ever seen for D in the comments:

"How do you explain that in D complex metaprogramming artifacts 
such as bitfields, regex engines, compile-time parser generators, 
checked integers, generic allocators, are readily available from 
a smaller community, when in C++ you need an article explaining 
what tricks to use to sort a list of integers at compile time?"
