I have a strong C background as well and have never had any
complaints about resource management in D. Every complaint I've
seen has come from people trying to do C++-like RAII. And,
though I don't understand it either, it does seem to be a big
issue for them.
It really is, RAII is the most important idiom in C++, in short
no RAII == buggy code. I mean proper C++ not
C-with-classes-no-templates-no-exceptions bs.
So to sum up: C folks are not really happy, C++ folks are not
really happy and C# folks are not really happy :P
