Yes - that's very insightful. I wonder why that is.
Similarly, I've heard it said that D programmers have no problem
criticizing D while still using it because of how good we think
it is, whereas the proponents of some other languages freak out
if you say anything negative about their language at all (though
I don't think that the D community is completely immune to that -
especially in the context of D vs some other language rather than
when just talking about D and how it could be improved).
