I like D. A lot. But please don't do this. It a) does not help D's popularity (if that is what you are trying to do , b) it makes you look like a troll or makes you look stupid (sorry)

I said that because when I lookup the benchmarks, that's what I see. I'm sure if I setup similar benchmarks of my own I'd probably get the same results (Unless the people who posted those that I've seen are lying and for some reason I doubt that).

You should think before calling someone a troll or saying that they sound stupid when they're citing information from an outside source. If I didn't think Dlang had a performance benefit I'd have a bit less incentive to use it. Are you saying such benchmarks are false? They seem legitimate to me. Search and view them yourself. If I were a troll I'd do something like you did, citing no evidence. Commenting in such a way without citing data makes YOU sound stupid (Sorry).

To be fair, I'll run my own benchmarks at some point. For now, I have to rely on what's out there.
