I'm re-visiting the D language. I've compared the file sizes of 
2 executables - 1 is compiled C code using gcc; the other is D

helloWorld.d => helloWorld.exe = 146,972 bytes
ex1hello.c => ex1-hello.exe = 5,661 bytes
Why such a huge difference???

That 140KB is called the CYA document.  It is there so that when 
you the programmer screws up you don't look so bad in front of 
your boss.
