That's the beauty of D. You can get shit done in an elegant and 
pragmatic way. The only downside is that one is tempted to spend 
too much time on making it even more elegant, but if you're 
pressed for time you can always come back later. It's only when I 
deal with other languages that I realize how many nice little 
features D has that make things so much easier. Features that are 
easy to use and produce cleaner, more compact code.
