i also want to know i the inventor of D [the GREAT guy]
can make some cool optimization so the output obj and
executables are so small
SO waht about optimization for speed and size
i think this is the time for some effort on optinization
we want small fast programs
so i will sleep now and dream

and by the way what about [throws] and insatnceof keywords
please GIVE it a try and scratch your BRAIN and i think

Currently all D executables have the garbage collector linked in. This 
adds a bit to the size of the executable. Hopefully one day we will be 
able to use the GC in shared library form, but for now it's not an option.

We don't need instanceof in D. You can try to cast an object to the type 
you want. The cast will return null if it cannot succeed. So the 
following code snippets are equivalent:

if(someObj instanceof SomeType) {} // Java
if(cast(SomeType)someObj !is null) {} // D

Though in reality, in D, you'd probably do this:

SomeType t = cast(SomeType)someObj;
if(t !is null) {}

And anyone asking for the throws keyword should be locked in a dungeon 
and forced to write code using the java.sql package. Letting that 
monstrosity into D is a horrible idea.

(AFAIK in english there are a lot of interesting things:
spelling, capitalized letters, punctuation, an so on. :-)

To ask aggressive questions is easy,
to do anything well is much harder.

I suggest you to browse the forum archive.
You should find a lot about this issue.
