Some interesting observations he made:

1. rigor is not wanted when prototyping

D recognizes this in that you can ignore @safe programming and pretty much all 
of the annotations when writing quick & dirty prototypes.

2. syntax matters

This has always been a focus with D, in that the syntax is meant to be easy and 
familiar.

3. Incrementalism matters

This is the focus of -betterC, where D can be incrementally adopted by existing 
programs, rather than all-or-nothing.
