Just deleting posts because you don't like them is not a valid 
option. You can't see advantages and disadvantages of language 
without discussing about it. And of course one of current 
disadvantage of D is lack of libraries/good projects.

a post you don't agree with doesn't mean it's rubbish. Take that, 
others can have opinions too, and sometimes these opinions are 
negative.
