I'd remove the "joy to write and easy to maintain" bit. That's personal opinion. Could use the "Systems scripting with native performance" as a tag line though. It's nice! My, slightly altered, version: D is a multiparadigm systems programming language with deep static introspection that lets you choose exactly what to pay for. Systems scripting. Native performance.

I like to think of myself as being a wee bit classier than that which is probably why I've taken a while to respond.No need to apologize. The british class system was the point of my comment. Russel said he was "liberal". When a british person says he is "liberal" it tells me nothing, except it most certainly isn't "scandinavian liberal". I'd have to figure out what parts of the british class system he associates himself with to give it some kind of meaning. British humour seems to go all the way from rough working class humor to Alan Carr/Russel Brand to stiff upper lip humor. What kind of humor is acceptable in "liberal" Britain? Is there a norm?Just to clarify, I honestly wasn't trolling. Chivalry is not really on my radar either way, and being from the North East coast of Scotland I've learned not to mess with your fellow Norwegians (of either gender :-) )Neh, I think most like some chivalry, but then there are the ones that think your are hitting on them or that will get annoyed if you open the door for them. I've noticed it helps with grey beard... "clueless sweet old man that tries to be helpful" seems to work out.*However* at the risk of sounding like a complete 'PC' prude. I feel (very respectfully!) that comments such as the 'D-cup' one should be left out of the public D fora. I'm currently not in Norway (nor Scotland) but working for a U.S. based firm, where the humour certainly doesn't translate that well.I am very much opposed to the banning of words. It makes for a very shallow understanding of what is discriminating and not. It just moves the negatives to a level where you cannot address it. If one cannot point out that one shouldn't make a particular type of joke, because the mere acknowledgment that such jokes exists is problematic then it goes too far IMO. What annoyed me was that you implied that I enjoy D-cup jokes or thought we should be making them. I don't. For those to be funny you have to view breasts as taboo or think that big breasts deserve some kind of special status or make women more appealing. I don't. But I've noticed that they tend to come up regularly in nerdy english-speaking forums, so I simply wondered what it actually means to be "liberal" when it comes to humour. Apparently bras are too much to be "english liberal", whatever that means...
