My problem with those three are those are the goals of every single computer 
language ever invented. They are completely and fatuously generic.

"Modern" implies using the latest ideas and techniques in computer languages. 
Modern has been used successfully in Andrei's books to convey that, which is why 
I suggested using the word.

Many newly-designed languages are wrapped around a single paradigm, and they set 
a store by being so. D most assuredly and pointedly has different take on that.

Most (nearly all?) new languages are targeted at a VM. Being native is clearly a 
distinguishing feature of D.
