Watched the video some time back, interesting results.  Any plans to blog about this?  It would be great if you could run them through a profiler too, see why D is so much faster.  Would be really worth writing this up, maybe on the D blog.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty close to publishing the benchmarks, they'll go in a doc file in the repository. They weren't quite complete when the meetup happened.

Regarding a blog post - I haven't talked to Mike Parker, if there's interest I'd be open to it.

As to why the tools compare so well - That's a really intriguing question, especially since the tools favor using high level constructs from D / Phobos rather than hand-built data structures or memory management. I have hypotheses, but no sure answers. Some of it likely involves design choices rather than language facilities per se, but even so, it's a good story for D.

Yes, there is interest. I was planning to contact you about this in my next round of queries. So I suppose now we can skip the query and get right to the details.
