I use D heavily 6+ years and based on my experience I can state it is 
highly productive language comparing to C/C++ I work with too. In D I 
can do more than in C/C++. C is too low level and so verbose, C++ lacks 
for some metaprogramming features and it's less consistent than D.

It's rather funny to see how one man who forced to program in 
programming language he doesn't like can triggers comments from lurkers 
that they don't like D too. No offense.
D is in great form and is getting much better and better and I'd like to 
ask D community to continue their good work and make D great again.
