D - Unsafe and doomed

[Dylan Knutson]

The article, based on the title, struck me as FUD, and reading it 
just confirmed that suspicion.

It really is just an advertisement for Rust. And I like Rust, 
except for the buggy compiler and the near impossibility to do 
advanced metaprogramming techniques. But, I like D better, 
because (IMO) I can write more succinct, correct code without 
having to fight the type system, and do insanely powerful compile 
time and template magic (I'd like to note my project, Temple, as 
an example of how powerful D's CTFE is: github.com/dymk/temple).

 From the article:
> and in particular does not provide safe constructs for 
> concurrency

Did the author do their research at all? Of course D has safe 
constructs for concurrency, albeit optional ones.
