hm. i'm a C programmer. i'm using D now -- to the extent that i spent
two days making dmd.exe work with Wine to write the simple utility
which i can write in two hours using MinGW cross-compiler.

actually, my first look at D was exactly 'cause it's C-like enough that
i feel myself almost at home, yet it has features i really want and
don't have in C (metaprogramming rocks!). and even with all my recent
frustration i'd better keep going with D than return to C.
