While i like many of your posts on different languages, there are 
also too much noise. I now realize that noise cost me a great 
deal. After nearly 10 years of programming i finally gave a try 
to lisp, just because of a phrase "programmable programming 
language".

This might offend some people but i have to say regardless. Lisp 
is the most beautiful language i have seen. If i didn't need a 
system language there would be no reason for me to drop 
everything else but only use it.

It took me 10 years to get to know it because of no advertisement 
and the noise and the hatred generated by 1000s other random 
languages that cater mediocre programmers and the "business".

Because of similar reasons, i worry about D's future too. When a 
language is powerful, it creates programmers that is not 
replaceable and we know it is not a good thing.
