Why I Use D

[Extrawurst]

What do i like ?

* dynamic arrays, slicing
* cleaner OOP (no multiple class inheritance)
* syntax goodies : foreach,foreach-range,the 
array/struct-literals,auto,loop-labels,nested comments
* and i like the transitive const (D2.0) !!!
* delegates
* powerful and yet much more transparent template programming (meta 
porgramming in D in general)

What i dislike ?

* two standard libraries, i think this is a real problem (keeps new 
users away, people i talk about D with consider it too unmature if there 
is such a gap between the stdlib of the reference compiler and the 
community-generated lib, and they simply wont give it a try cause of 
much stuff missing in phobos)
* IDE - We really need full code-completion/suggestion/outlining/goto 
support and all these goodies to convince larger scale teams to switch 
to D (i know Descent is on a good way...)
* some already "ancient" compiler Bugs

Thank you Walter for the great effort and the wonderful language that 
you are dedicating to this thankful but always critical community!
