Why are you using D instead of Rust?

Mainly because you're so unproductive with Rust. It takes so many 
more keystrokes and thinking to even get anywhere. And for what 
benefit? A marginally more safe code base? 🤔

I've written safety critical code for years. Rust isn't even 
proven in use yet.

Take a quick look at this:

And this:

Shouldn't those list be like... Shorter? 🤔

D has a balance of productivity and safety. We can improve D and 
get a nice language. But we need more people and/or focus to do 
that.

That's my opinion
