I find this part of D very annoying as well.

D looks like a C language, with a standard library written by a 
PHP/Python developer. It's a shame for a language with so much 
potential to fall victim to such bad taste =x

I suppose I'm biased, and PHP/Python have a fair following, but 
after a few years of PHP coding (part time as part of a larger 
project) I'm not sure I will ever make a full psychological 
recovery..
