Interesting site. The "DOES POORLY AT..." column is good reading here for how D could improve ( though some of the comments are stupid. D has an annoying syntax!?) http://hammerprinciple.com/therighttool/items/d

Good catch. I was about to complain about the "The thought that I may still be using this language in twenty years time fills me with dread" until I realized that being under 'Does poorly' means that people DON'T think that. Actually, I'd like to think they think the opposite of that.

Yea, these charts are confusing, with the double negatives and the green up arrows next to negative aspects. A pro/con list would be much more clear.

Huh, we come off pretty good. Makes me kinda question their research techniques.

Self-selection is never a good idea. Only 64 respondents have rated both D and C++...

the list of things that D does poorly is really _stupid_. http://hammerprinciple.com/therighttool/items/d

what's wrong with it? a lot of it is double negative(i.e, does poorly at `has an annoying syntax` -> does not have an annoying syntax)

Nice one - I wonder what people answered to "PROGRAMS WRITTEN IN THIS LANGUAGE WILL USUALLY WORK IN FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE LANGUAGE" ??? :) We all know the answer to that question regarding the D programming language. :D

The D comparison with C++ is interesting, it sums up why I use D.
