It's funny that people spend millions on technologies that makes 
mediocre or crap languages better, but they would never invest in 
something like D, because they dread the investment. I think it's 
because D doesn't have a price tag attached to it. "If it's for 
free, it must be sh*t", I often hear people say. Maybe we should 
have a D Enterprise Edition (DEE) and sell it for $1,000. Believe 
me, people would take to it like ducks take to water.
