Well, I really don't want to argue with you, and I'm not sure we 
really have much to argue anyway.

But I don't see D as a replacement for C#.

C# has a hold of its territory pretty well, I don't see D 
intruding into it, any time soon. It certainly has some good 
feature that D could consider incorporating. I don't think 
(personally) the Elvis operator is one of them. Other disagree 
find. I'm with disagreement.

C++ on the otherhand, is certainly where D can showcase it's 
benefit - and indeed where many focus their attention when it 
comes to marketing D.

And if you had good skill in C++, and switched to D, and was good 
at D too, then you'll be part of the generation that will replace 
the C++ language and the C++ programmers ;-)

Sorry to the C++ fanboys..if you're listening...don't take it 
personally.
