surely this article needs to be balanced, with another article, 
titled 'why I don't like D' ;-) (..but written by someone who 
really knows D).

IMO... the next generation programming language (that will 
succeed) will be defined by it's tooling, and not just the 
language.

Language complexity increases the demands on tooling.

I remember Scott Meyers.. the last thing D needs.. 2014 talk.

We really need him now.. more than ever ;-)
