Yea. Java and C# might be more mature than D right now, but D is just such a better langauge anyway (IMO) that I find D's immaturity to be a huge improvement over Java/C#'s limitations. As far as the maturity of PHP though...PHP has *never* been anything that even remotely resembed "mature" (or "stable" for that matter), and I don't believe for a second that it ever will be. It is popular, heavily used, and has a big ecosystem, but it's like a metropolitan city that's built in a really big playground sandbox using silly putty instead of mortar. It's like VB or COBOL: A toy that businesses have mistaken for a serious langauge.
