I'm not saying I agree with his way of seeing or saying things, 
but he does write D code, so that's good haha. Might also be a 
translation thing.
Now, would it be nice if some D users weren't so extremely

specifically. Serg is kinda ok actually. Just my random comment 
as someone that is using D maybe one year now :)
