Just to clarify, I'm not talking about this. I prefer to use D even with
its overhead (when I can afford it), but that doesn't mean D shouldn't
take this seriously and say "bah, everybody is doing big binaries, why
should I care?". One thing is "we can't focus on that because we have
other priorities but we are concerned about the issue" and another *very
different* thing is "we don't care, even if the binary size still grow".

It's a very nice rant, and I agree, but you missed the point. I'm not
talking about not using D, I'm talking about recognizing this as an issue
(even when it might not be a huge one).
