As I replied to Adam, "dynamic typing" was a bit misleading. It's more 
the dynamic nature of Ruby I like. For example:

* Open classes
* Reflection
* Eval
* Executable code in all levels of scope

So if D had something comparable, like AST-macros, better reflection and 
annotations I would be more happy.
