While I read the article, and found quite a few (to me) new problems 
with C++, off-hand I don't have any D suggestions now.

Additionally, the fact that Walter brings this issue up "just like 
that", should be telling of the way D is developed versus the competition!

First, we're not scared of grabbing the bull by the horns. Second, 
having D as a one-man enterprise, gives us an immeasurable advantage 
over C++ and the like. The response time, the vigilance and the 
vigorousness that this needs, simply are not possible to match with the 
bureaucracy the competition (be it C++ or Java) are dragging around.

Not to mention Walter's unfathomable experience as a compiler writer!!

Multiply a thirty-percent advantage over ten years, and you wouldn't 
believe the result!

And D is doing a whole lot better than that.
