I think this reveals a lot about D. You still need to prove things. Or maybe the community members in general aren't very good developers; they can't see the potential of this language. The fact is, no matter what language you choose, if it isn't a complete joke, you can finish the project. (I'm assuming the community members here won't be writing any massive projects which are not possible to do in C++ or PHP or Java.) I don't see any need to prove how well Haskell works. Even though it's a "avoid success at all costs" experimental research language. It just works. I mean to the extent that I'm willing to go with these silly test projects that try to prove something.
