So is it justified enough to throw my W's incompetence card on the table at this point? How else it is possible that a simple scripting language with simple JIT optimization heuristics can outperform a performance oriented systems programming language. It seems most D design decisions are based on the perceived performance value (not as aggressively as in C++ groups). I'd like to see how this theory doesn't hold water now?
