»Haskell vs. D« backstage discussion featuring Andrei and Walter at Lang.NEXT

[David Nadlinger]

Another video from Lang.NEXT 2012 went live recently: [1]. Erik 
Meijer is joined by Andrew Adams-Moran, Walter and Andrei to 
discuss various topics surrounding D and Haskell. Most of the 
things covered probably aren't particularly new to most of the 
people here, but publicity for D is alway nice to see (also don't 
miss Andrei's humorous remark on the editor war).

One topic I found very interesting, but which was unfortunately 
barely covered within the constrained time, is the question about 
what »dirty laundry« is there for D, the language, right now 
(i.e. features/aspects that turned out to be more of a liability 
than profit). Sure, bit is an example, but that has been disposed 
of a long time ago. What has piled up in the basket since then?
