Not exactly. Seems that he likes pure and immutable ... (not really Java )

F.I.

But when you can't put immutable values in a container without wrapping 
them in a "Rebindable" template, that again makes me nervous.

Say an associative array that stores immutable objects.

This blog is relevant 'cause it is a voice saying "D is not production 
ready"
Let me ask you this. why HBase/Hadoop is not done in D, why SWIFT is not 
written in D, why... etc.   A: 'Cause the language is not yet stable, 
therefore the basic library is in flow.

4 me D2 is very far away from being a serious tool, atm D is a geek toy. 
Having a foreign pragmatic programmer saying exactly that, makes sense 
to me. I think this is an constructive blog, in case that somebody is 
willing to listen.
