FWIW, if you're picking up one of the most used languages out there,
their list won't differ that much:
Exactly. Much of that can be summed up as D being intended for
professional production use, rather than:
1. a teaching tool (Pascal)
2. a research project (Haskell)
3. being focussed on solving one particular problem (Erlang) 4.

to promote a related product (Flash) 5. designed for kids (Logo)
6. designed for non-programmers (Basic) 7. one paradigm to rule them

9. implementing skynet (Lisp)

retard, this is your best post ever! xP
Yes, it was a good post by retard.
I remember seeing it a few weeks ago.
IIRC D was not in the matrix of pictures
and one wonders how the missing rows/columns
for D should be rendered. :-)
I don't think you can have a row/column for D at this stage:
* Non-D programmers are not familiar enough with D to have an opinion of
it, at least in a "stereotype" sense.
* And as for what D programmers think of other languages, well, it seems
D attracts programmers from very varied backgrounds (C/C++, Java,
scripting languages, etc.), so there would likely be wildly varied
opinions about other languages. Probably the only consistent opinion
would be about C/C++ (that although useful and powerful, it has immense
innate shortcomings).
