I've never seen anyone write that. Most likely you saw someone 
post something that looks similar, but has a dramatically 
different meaning. The usual response is "If you want something 
done, you're going to have to do it yourself or pay someone to do 
it for you, or else it won't get done."

And this clarifies the source of your confusion. The D 
programming language is an open source project, not a for-profit 
company. D is not the language you're looking for.
