Thanks for the suggestion, I may check out nim someday.  I've 
already invested time in understanding D to some degree and now 
have a few production programs written in D, so I think I'll just 
stick with it unless I hit a show stopper.  I'm currently 
maintaining software written in java, C, D, matlab, IDL, python 
(probably some more I'm forgetting) and still have to take up 
julia at some point in the near future.

So right now I'm just not up for tackling another language, but 
good luck to nim.  Anything that stops wasting vast amounts of 
hardware, electricity, and my user's time, gets my vote :)

Cheers,
