A Perspective on D from game industry

Also I think all this discussion about template and generics 
totally misses the point about meta-programming. It is not about 
just code generation or replacing few type declarations, main 
thing is compile-time reflection. The fact we use templates is 
just a mere implementation details. What important is being able 
to express complicated abstract relations between parts of your 
program and allowing compiler to both verify it and optimize 
based on that information. Boilerplate elimination without such 
verification is not even closely as tempting.
