It may seem surprising to you, but there is a lot of project who can't afford using Scala or Haskell. If you're constrained to use D at your dayjob, imagine what could be to be forced to use C++. Wonderful hours spent finding that your destructor failed because it called virtual functions, while your stack trace magically disappear and you have to wait recompilation for 10 min.

The world would be a better place if instead of shooting in your leg you shot your client's head off.
