Well, if it were "Naturally, D compiles to efficient, native code," then it means something similar to "Obviously, D compiles to efficient, native code." But the naturally that the original phrase uses is a different definition. So, yes, if naturally were to keep the same meaning with this suggested rewrite, it would be Yoda-talk, but most people would probably take it as a different meaning of the word entirely. - Jonathan M Davis
