Hi, i'm new in here,

Personally, D atrracted me because of:

- Introspection
- Native binary
- Low memory usage
- It is familiar to someone that have used C++ and Java before

I think that introspection should be the main marketing focus for 
D. And, of course, we need more companies adopting the language.
