Reasons to use D

[Chris via Digitalmars-d]

Out of curiosity I searched for "reasons to use D" and I found 
this:

http://blog.pluralsight.com/d-programming-language-explained

This paragraph called my attention:

"At the same time, D doesn’t get all New Age on you: It doesn’t 
try to be multi-paradigm, it doesn’t claim “five percent better 
than C” performance, nor does it provide any language features 
that dramatically alter the existing object-oriented programming 
status quo."

Sorry, but D _is_ multi-paradigm and it does challenge (not 
actively though) the OOP "status quo". I haven't written a class 
for a long time now, and I don't really miss it. D does not go 
against OOP in an ideological kind of way, but it clearly shows 
other ways of doing things.

I like this one:

"Users of D host an annual D language conference, but they mainly 
communicate online."

If you are lucky, you can watch them in their natural habitat. 
Their mating habits are still a mystery to scientists.

The article is not that old, you know (May 2014).
