TL;DR the point is that writing in D gave me the opportunity to spend mental and

_particular_ idea running in C. That's where the real edge arises.
I've noticed this too, but I've found it hard to explain to C programmers.
To say it a different way, D makes it easy to refactor code to rapidly try out
different algorithms. In C, one tends to stick with the original design because
it is so much harder to refactor.
