Works for me.

The issue is only whether there is an idiomatic expression for a given
style. For me currently D has everything I need that C++ makes
difficult.

The difficult tension for me is JVM vs. native. On the JVM I have
Groovy, Scala, (Ceylon, Kotlin, JRuby, Jython, Clojure), even Java,
which is an interesting milieu. Natively there is  C, C++, D, Clay,
Rust, Haskell which makes for fun tensions.

The core problem is how to make D appealing to C and C++ programmers.
