and this is my entire problem with your entire argument. You are 
generalizing based on preconceived notions. You are guessing. You 
aren't actually informed about D. You don't really care what D 
does and how we program in D. You immediately tout python's 
superiority in our faces. You impose a solution just because 
python does it. What about trying out D for real? Have you 
programmed in D even once? Do you know what is the stance of the 
community on exceptions? Do you know how we usually (do or don't) 
handle the null terminator? No, you don't. You're fishing and you 
have two big ones on your line, but that doesn't mean I'll bite.

Like barging into someone's home suddenly without ever meeting 
them before and demanding they do things for you even though you 
don't even care that they do it.
