It is a bit weird that anyone would sign up for the Rust forums for the 
sole purpose of making a non-PC comment about D. :)

The reaction to the above comment was predictable but I don't think it 
was necessary. ZiCog's subsequent comment was just as dismissive but it 
was phrased using nice words so he did not get a wrist slap. Basically 
it's just a translation of the comment to PC speak. "I prefer to think 
of it this way."

Personally I prefer the atmosphere of the D forums -- generally 
respectful and professional, but being respectful is not subordinate to 
being able to make technical points, passionate debate is allowed and 
you don't have to spend time deciphering criticism that is disguised as 
a compliment or wondering whether your point has been taken.
