Meta:
While it is heavier than Haskell's syntax, I have been consistently and pleasantly surprised by how powerful D's template pattern matching is (bugs notwithstanding). I wonder how well-known this is outside this mailing list...
I keep reading blog posts that use Haskell and present supposed "marvels", using very complex things, that can be routinely done in D, and with less complexity for the brain of the programer, often leading to faster code and equally safe :-) So while I like several parts of Haskell, it's sometimes over-hyped (while D is nearly invisible).
