???? For small projects, D is still a huge improvement over C. Templates, arrays that "just work", a sane import system, an OO system, and most importantly a standard library built to take advantage of these, is useful even in tiny 100-line programs. Even if all you're doing is writing a command line app to read in data from a file, perform a few calculations, and print the results to stdout, do you really want to deal with C's horribly low-level string and file I/O handling?
