It is funny to note that every time these new fans of D come from the C / 
C++ / Java community. It is well known that those languages have long 
been in a stagnant stage and if the developers just had courage to try 
modern languages, *any* language would have a fresh feel. It is really no 
wonder that those languages are starting to feel irritating in daily 
work. I have never heard of a Eiffel / Ada / Erlang / Lisp / Clojure / 
Scala / Haskell / SML / OCaml / Nemerle /<insert your favorite statically 
typed compiled language here> zealot who suddenly found the enlightenment 
in D.
