WOW! I wasn't even done with the daily "news" and already a response. "my 
bad" for answering it too:

Applications only please (libraries are like... well everyone has one).

Whoa!!! Wait a darn minute here. "D is a YOUNG language?". You better be a 
newbie to D, else some law against LYING will bite you in the ass? (to put 
it "mildly"?).

A DECADE of library development??! (I think you just answered my question 
inadvertently).

====================

The question becomes: dsimcha has the noted perspective. dsimcha, please, DO 
introduce yourself (full resume not out of place, if you are so inclined, 
and the if is a biggie).

I'll probably not check back in here until after the weekend unless I don't 
win lotto, in which case the only thing I have to do this weekend is to 
cancel the order for the SIX FIGURE car. (I hope to not have time to be here 
this weekend!! Wish me luck!).
