Be careful with advocating D too much, I think what with the very 
positive but visible D conference coverage we don't want to seem 
like zealous fanboys. It may be better to let discussion of D 
cool off for a while, then return when there is something new and 
cool to show rather than get into arguments over Rust vs D. Those 
will only degenerate and make D users look bad.

This is important- it reflects on the users and the language and 
can very easily turn people away while single misinformed 
comments will not be noticed by all that many people.

Don't rubbish Rust. Comparisons quickly and easily turn negative.
