I agree that my answers were a little OT to the main discussion 
of this thread. But sometimes you want to discuss a bit more wide 
things, outside a matchbox. Next time in similar situations I 
will start a new thread then.

My two post didn't imply to contain significant insights, they 
mostly contain a single question.

Regarding the value of those two posts, they raises some 
questions, like: is D fit just for video games, or is it good to 
write highly reliable programs too? Are Ada programmers going to 
appreciate D?

The purposes of a language are important, because they must guide 
its design and progressive development. If D is very good mostly 
for games, then probably it's worth adding in Phobos things 
useful to write games, and the language designers need to listen 
more to what people like Carmak ask to language designers. On the 
other hand if in D future there is the creation of high integrity 
systems to replace some of the current uses of Ada (and 
C-high-integrity profiles), then it's worth considering how much 
useful some Ada features are, maybe for present and future 
improvements of D. As I have shown Ada has several advantages 
over D in that regard.
