Why I Use D

>Run-time compilation can be frustrating - it obfuscates profiling and requires (as far as I'm aware) digital signing etc. to forcibly pre-compile for performance.<

But it allows you to do some things that aren't easy to do with D (recently you may have seen two libs to do similar things in D).


>Just the control that D provides compared to C# and the fact that it is compiled directly to machine code mean that D is basically guaranteed to be faster provided sufficient effort is put in if you know what I mean.<

That's a myth. I have personally found situations where that's very false. D AAs and GC are sometimes slower or much slower, etc.
