Right now D has practical benefit of being more stable and 
library rich. But switching to Rust eventually does seem tempting 
as I find foundations of their type system much closer to my 
beliefs about "good coding practices".

It lacks any good static reflection though. And this stuff is 
damn addictive when you try it of D caliber.
