Yeah, you are totally right. I though that it was clear that the 
statement contained "metaphors". Howerver, people had there own 
"words they wanted to spit out" :) I will try not to use 
metaphors in coders forum next time :)

It bothers me that some "BAD" programming languages have 
marketing edge on the social media, whilst D has none. You know, 
that's where "everybody" is nowadays.

On the side note, you saw through all the various comments and 
realized what I meant. That's amazing :)
