On a more serious note though, just focusing on what something's good at

one uses for real-world work: "Haskell's really good at functional. So let's
pretend nothing else exists." Of course, what makes D so great is that we
all know perfectly well it tries to do a variety of things well, which is
actually in contrast to what you're saying here.
I can certainly understand the impossibility of actually keeping up with
bearophile, but I don't think that even he expects that every idea he brings
up be rushed into D.
Balance is, of course, essential. So is prioritizing what is important and what
is not.
