He should not be considered generic in modern writing. Using he 
or she is equally wrong if gender is not literally intended. Just 
use something like 'the programmer' or 'the user'. The official D 
website does not use he as far as I'm aware, at least not in the 
spec.

This is not political, this is about being factually correct and 
not anachronistic.
