Sincerely speaking D language does not merit all these criticism.
The magnitude of criticism on D language does not really make
sense to me. I am yet to see a language so user friendly as D
with such power and strength.I trust one day the world will see
and know that D is a language build for programmers for great
productivity and not just another money making machine
