maybe we should try to get him to comment. based on that post, his opinion 
of what a good program is seems to jive well enough with the D philosophy* 
that he could give some good commentary but he has no reason to look with 
rose colored glasses so he might have something worthwhile to say.


* D /does/ have a philosophy and it goes something like this: C++ is a pile, 
C doesn't scale, Java/C# are to restrictive, Ruby/Python are to slow and 
So get the ___ out of my way so that I can wright a program that is fast 
_enough_ to work, clean _enough_ to be maintainable and small _enough_ that 
I'll actually get something done!
