Now, now, no need to feel offended. Bashing programming languages 
is part of programming. Never read any of those "Why 
[Python|PHP|JS|C++...] sucks" articles on the internet? I've had 
the misfortune of having to work with PHP and JS, and no shaming 
me will ever convince me that they are serious languages. Anyway, 
D is being bashed here all the time, haven't you noticed ;)
