I like it because it lets me use a lot of the skills I developed 
while using C back in the day, but with OOP thrown in. It's like 
C on steroids... or PHP, can't decide which.

And I find a lot of the time, I spend mere moments debugging 
compared to other languages I've wrestled with over the years. 
I've lost track of the number of times I've run the compiler 
while thinking, "Let's see how many errors come out of this," and 
there weren't any. For my money, that's a good fit and it's gonna 
take a long lever applied to a large fulcrum to pry me away from 
D.
