Ok. It wasn't my intention to turn the discussion into a political direction.
I thought maybe it were practical issues that could be fixed (or the D community
could help), like "no 64bit support" or "setting it up for D (including writing
benchmarking code) is much work and he doesn't have the time" or "prefers free
compiler for D2" (nowadays GDC could be used) or whatever.

I certainly wouldn't demand from Isaac to add D or anything (it's his spare
time, after all).
