Answer is i think quite simple. How many C++ developers do you 
think use templates more than like "<T>min(Ta){ reuturn a<b?a:b 
}"? I don't believe it is more than 5%. We first need to show how 
powerfull and accessible templates/ctfe in D. We need to stop 
saying "D does templates better than C++". This is huge 
underestimation. By stating it this way we are just targetting 
like 1% of the C++ audience. We need to teach people how to do 
templates. Starting with Boost community. If D can't absorb Boost 
community. There is no hope in neither D nor Boost, we should 
just stop!
