Why I Use D

[lutger]

Me too:

Top features of D:
- arrays, including associative arrays and all their goodies (slicing etc.) 
- strings, unicode ftw
- GC AND pointers && friends PLUS C interop
- module system and object orientation
- delegates, including nested functions
- generic programming

D is such a rich language, supporting many styles of programming. Like in
C++ the programmer has a lot of freedom and can make her own tradeoffs,
like in python the language is really productive and enjoyable. 

I'm also very fond of the care that has been given to practical needs: ddoc,
function hijacking, even such simple things as disallowing 'for(int i = 0;
i < 10; i++);', etc. etc. 

And last but not least, although some harsh words have been said (this
always happens though) I think D does have a mature and helpful community
as well as design team, which inspires trust.

Ok, thanks everybody. </fanboy>
