Depends what you mean by "processes" :-)

There you go!

- You're only dealing with 3 programming languages, although more 
than 3 language implementations

- Those programming languages are intended to be used for similar 
tasks.

- You'll correctly be seen as a D language advocate, so your 
presentation needs to show that you accept advice on how to 
improve the C and C++ programs.

- "short idiomatic programs" is difficult because the tradeoff 
between performance and "idiomatic" is so subjective, and you 
will correctly be seen as a D language advocate :-)

    When asked, one of the C++ program contributors to the 
benchmarks game did try to write some "shorter" C++ programs, see:
