"D has @property functions, which are methods that you call with 
what looks like field access, so in the above example, c.d might 
call a function."

That turned me off.  Despite everything I hate about D, I keep 
coming back to it for the "Modeling Power" and "Modern 
Convenience".  No other language that I'm aware of can complete 
with D on those two merits.

Also, everything ends up calling a subprocedure of some or 
another when all is said and done, so embrace it and leverage it, 
I say.
