Why? D being flawed does not take away one whit from C++'s 
issues. The C++ people are free to bash us right back. I don't 
follow this logic of "nobody is allowed to complain unless their 
own record is spotless." Nobody is ever spotless. Every language 
has warts. But of course you can complain about other languages' 
warts at any time you want! If I couldn't complain about the 
inadequacy of the tools that the profession considers adequate, I 
would certainly go crazy.
