Well, you're entitled to your opinion, and you're definitely free 
to avoid C++ libraries if that what you want, but there are 
plenty of D users who want good C++ interop (and for some 
projects, pretty much require it - especially the corporate 
folks), so there's actually a fairly high demand for it. And part 
of why the C++ interop that we have is as good as it is now is 
because it was needed to port the compiler's frontend to D and 
have it still work with the backends of the three main compilers. 
So, it's there because it serves a very practical purpose.

So, use it or don't, but don't expect everyone to agree with you 
that interoperability with C++ is useless.
