Incremental is key. It's what enabled me to use D for my work. 
Apologies to anyone that feels only enterprise code bases with at 
least 10 million lines of code are worth talking about, but good 
luck convincing anyone to rewrite a code base that critical and 
that big. At the end of the day I'm the one writing D code for a 
living and the enterprise developers are stuck writing C++ and 
Java.
