Yea. Java and C# might be more mature than D right now, but D is just such a 
better langauge anyway (IMO) that I find D's immaturity to be a huge 
improvement over Java/C#'s limitations.

As far as the maturity of PHP though...PHP has *never* been anything that 
even remotely resembed "mature" (or "stable" for that matter), and I don't 
believe for a second that it ever will be. It is popular, heavily used, and 
has a big ecosystem, but it's like a metropolitan city that's built in a 
really big playground sandbox using silly putty instead of mortar. It's like 
VB or COBOL: A toy that businesses have mistaken for a serious langauge.
