What I mean by wearing a hairshirt is insistence on negging D. There are many 
ways to be honest about D's capabilities without describing them in negative terms.

For example:

Hairshirt - D's gc is terrible compared with Java's.

Honesty - Since Java is heavily dependent on the gc, it is worth it to insert 
write gates into the generated code to accurately track usage of gc allocated 
memory. Usage of D's gc is optional, and D's semantics are much less reliant on 
the gc. Hence, in the interest of maximum performance for most code, D does not 
insert write gates in the generated code.
