Yes, I started to look at D 15 years ago because I wanted 
something simpler and more productive than C++.

D is quite close all it needs is:

- smart, non-intrusive memory management that is non-blocking
- some makeup on syntax
- complete some features (like alias)

How that is done is less important as long as it is simple and 
clean. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, 
and all that…
