Although the comments contain praise that's definitely underserved, it 
was heartwarming to see D get so much love. I decided to not participate 
to that thread (though I'm itching to). But, FWIW I'll have a (longer) 
interview on InformIT.com in which Eric Niebler grills me with questions 
about D. I can't wait to see it out.
