You know, from the last 2 years that i have followed D, i have 
come to the conclusion that: If you enjoy programming, use D. If 
its just your job or because its the standard, stay with C/C++.

because not once have i heard someone say programming in C++ is 
enjoyable.
But maybe its just me, maybe im too young to know the olden days 
of the 80s/90s where C++ was a godsend compared to C. Or was it? 
I dont know, i wasnt alive...
