If you want D to become popular, that's not an appropiate
answer in the d.learn section. I'm sure that if someone will
ask the same thing in the C# section of MSDN will obtain an
answer, not a redirect to an external forum.
I agree that it's important to be gentle.
(I remember the C newsgroups where many questions received rude
answers like: "Not a C Standard question" (because the C standard
leaves many essential things to OS-specific functions or
compiler-specific implementations)).
