The point I'm trying to make is... normally I would use around
4-5 different languages depending on _what_ problem I'm currently
solving... occasionally even languages I'm not particularly
proficient with, just because a language might have an edge in a
certain domain... however 'D' basically is good enough at
"everything"... with some few exceptions.
So what one person considers redundant, is integral to someone
else with a different background... no, D doesn't have too many
features.
