Just goes to show that when it comes from a source that people may
consider trustworthy, they genuinely take notice and listen. :)

Does the story resemble reality? What's Enki?

Yes, Cade Metz (the author) did a real good job at doing his research 
and validating it with Walter, myself, and others. Enki is the working 
name of a language I was working on in 2005.

Excellent article! Best introduction to D I've ever seen.

Not only that, but it also helps dissuade the misleading belief that 
Facebook is written in PHP, so I'm extra-happy with the article :)
