This piece (recently seen on the Hacker News front page):

http://rust-class.org/pages/using-rust-for-an-undergraduate-os-course.html

.. includes a pretty damning assessment of D as "unsafe" 
(compared to Rust) and generally doomed. I remember hearing 
Walter Bright talking a lot about "safe code" during a D 
presentation. Was that about a different kind of safety? Is the 
author just wrong? Basically I want to hear the counterargument 
(if there is one).
