I hope it doesn't remain this way.  Personally I am sick of fixing 
broken PHP code, retarded ruby code, and bad SQL queries.  However, the 
issue isn't the language as much as it is the coders.

Easy powerful languages = stupid coders who do stupid things.

D is an easy, powerful language, but has one aspect which may protect it 
against stupid coders.  Its hard to do stupid things in D.  Its harder 
to create a memory leak in D then it is to prevent one in C.

Hell, I've seen ruby do things which personally I thought was a memory 
leak at first, to later realize it was just a poor GC implementation. 
(this is mats ruby, not jruby or rubinius).

I know stupid coders will always exist, but D promotes good practice 
without sacrificing performance.
