Good advice, thanks! It seems the more assertive tones often get 
less criticism.

Thanks. There might be errors in places.

Bringing D in the workplace often bring incredible resistance and 
arguments.

I've heard it all over the years:
- "D is like C#, why use it?"
- "D can't be scripted" (yes it can)
- "D isn't fast enough"
- "D isn't much used and is 10 years old, there must be problems"
- "D isn't used enough"

Much like C++ was met with resistance?
Meanwhile D programs get written and consistently over-deliver on 
promises.
