Good C++ programmers appear to be able to get $350k to $400k in NY.

Of course the effect of that good programmers can be a profit increase
measures in millions.

I guess D should be able to do things just as fast as C++, at least
using LDC or GDC. My little informal microbenchmarks indicate that this
is the case, but for now this is anecdotal evidence not statistically
significant. Sadly for a while D programmers won't be able to achieve
the same remuneration as the top C++ programmers exactly because there
is little demand/supply pressure.
