F*CK, here we go again.

D is not popular because it is a failed language (i.e, failed 
design, implementation, and everything else).  How many times do 
we need to repeat that before people get it?  Move on, get over 
it, and be happy.  There are far better programming languages out 
there for any problem domain.
