The comments on HN are useless though, everybody went for the 
"D versus Python" thing and seem to complain that it's doing a 
D/Python benchmark while only talking about D optimization...even 
though optimizing D is the whole point of the article. In the 
same way they rant against the fact that many iterations on the D 
script are shown while it is obviously to give different tricks 
while being clear on what trick gives what.

I am disappointed because there are so many good things to say 
about this, so many good questions or remarks to make when not 
familiar with the language, and yet all we get is "Meh, this 
benchmark shows nothing of D's speed against Python".
