most of my upsides are compared to C++, but not all.

- good compatibility with C libraries and similarity to C/C++ 
code. You can copy paste C++ snippets to D and they work with 
minor changes

- GC with value types

- compile time reflection

- well working package manager

- friendly, helpful community

- batteries included standard library (xml, json)
