hi,

What if D compared with the latest perl6? well, I know that perl6 
is a VM targeted language. so which has the greater 
modeling-power? And perl6 seems is selling for Concurrency[1], 
but I think D will do this far better than a VM targeted 
language, right?

with the pre-released version of perl6 publicity, perl6 will be a 
powerful language with features like "lazy and eager list 
evaluation", but after learned D, look back to perl6, I found 
very few things that means "powerful".

So, can you experts give a more comprehensive compare with perl6 
and D?  speed? modeling-power? concurrency? package-management 
dub vs CPAN? ...

Thanks!

Sure!

1). You can actually read and understand D code.

D code is much simpler, but it's said that perl6 is a new design 
with great modeling power.

But what I think about is that: both D and perl6 have a very long 
compiler development time, and both have few users.

after reading the perl6 official document, I finally found that D 
has most of what the perl6 says it's modern powerful features, 
and then D compiles native code, we can write simple and clean 
code, and runs fast.
