Motivated by Dmitry's "Pitching D to a gang of Gophers" thread,
how about pitching it to a gang of professors and graduate

I will be presenting D to such an audience at METU in Ankara.
What are the points that you would stress? I am thinking that
they would be interested more in whether D is better as a

What about:
D can be used as a high level, high productivity scripting
language, just like Python, with two exceptions:
1) You get static type checking
2) When can compile the program instead of interpreting when you
need the performance. No need to re-write it.
