Why I use the D programming language for scripting (opensource.com)

I've never used D but this really makes me want to give it a shot. Did anyone try it, and would you recommend using it?

I saw esoterics and heavily opiniated jargon such as .each!writeln; and immediately said ... "fuck this". I don't wanna learn another shitty scripting language that thinks it's cool because it created its own esoteric opiniated jargon. A language that isn't even POSIX standard. Thank you.

Buddy, there are a heck of a lot of unique non-POSIX languages out there. Are you sure you any being a little knee-jerk here? Remedy Entertainment and Netflix both used it internally for a very long time.
