Having read all the forum thread around the necessity to 
terminate an application on bugs or catch-them-and-keep-going, 
I'm not sure if the programmers folk are not to blame also for 
that problems.

I agree also on the discussion about management, but, sometime, 
little companies has illuminate technical management, that can 
dare to rely on innovative languages to do their job, and compete 
(against big companies with no-so-illuminate-management). So 
definitely D has some value for them.
