Why I use the D programming language for scripting (opensource.com)

I've never used D but this really makes me want to give it a shot. Did anyone try it, and would you recommend using it?

I been using D for like... 10 years or something. The biggest problem D faces and has always faced is the leadership's lack of direction. If you lurk their forums you know what I mean.

I still hope for a D3 one day where the language is redesigned from the ground up, not that D2 is bad but it has a lot of features that never really matured properly. I really truly believe a redesign could clean up all the rougher parts and revitalize interest in the language but my hope will probably never get fulfilled.

Still use it tho..
