I like D1 mostly because it's quite less complex that C++, that's the first thing I ask 
to a new language like D. Complexity "kills".
You probably don't want D, you want ATS:

Dear god.  I think... I think I'm going to go cry in the corner...

Even the helpful explanatory comment is baffling.  Sounds like the guy
is boasting because he not only implemented Quicksort but managed to
do it in such a way that the output not only has the same length as
the input, but *also* is a permutation of the input!  Whoa!   Sheer
genius!

Is it one of those deals where he somehow explained to the compiler what he wants his algorithm to do, and then the compiler goes off and proves to itself that the algorithm actually does it or else barfs?
