Analysis of programming languages on Rosetta

Near the start of the paper they explain their relatively complex 
strategy to choose languages to study. The D didn't come among 
the chosen ones by that strategy.

I don't care of having them include D because it's a not so 
interesting study, it's partially bogus because it partially 
relies on "fantasy data" (Tiobe site used in a supposedly 
scientific paper, really?), and uses ideas about code that are 
partially wrong (like the performance of Haskell programs shows).
