Who here actually uses D?

When I convert a good amount of C code to D I've seen that another thing you can do is to profile your D code and de-optimize parts of it that don't require performance, rewriting them in a higher-level style. So you are able to shrink the D code some more compared to the C or C++ starting code. In this shrinking refactoring work it is useful to know some higher level language too, because they train you a lot to write shorter code.
