I like your spirit.

The main things that led me to like D were:

- GC, but you can go without (a little painful, but not bad)
- simpler templates than C++, but still powerful
- CTFE (not "done" yet, but usable today)

And I stayed because:

- community driven
   - community intelligent and helpful, albeit a little small
- still in development
   - I can still pitch cool ideas and have a chance at them landing
- /+ /* */ +/
   - seriously, why don't other languages allow this?!?
