Rewording that a little:  How D solved a problem particularly well for you.
Demonstrations are FAR more effective than statements.

Also, not responding to you but rather the general topic, getting the word out
in other venues would help too.  There's been many posts that hit reddit.  That
venue isn't bad, but also has already built up a set of automatic detractors.
