I'm not surprised that the German programming community has taken to D. After all, German cars all have those "D" stickers on them :-)

Also see if UDAs plus compile-time introspection is helpful.

Perhaps this is enough, and avoids one allocation:

immutable stream = "\x05helloXXXX".representation;

No, no, "Dlang Dlang Über Alles" is a take on "Deutschland
Deutschland über alles" (Germany Germany over everything), the
first verse of the national anthem as sung in Nazi times.

I was actually worried if the author is German. He's not,
thankfully. He's from Israel. From a German author that would be
an embracement of fascism. Coming from an Israeli, I don't really
know where to put it, probably completely benign.

As a Portuguese living in Germany, I would say not everyone knows that outside Germany.

Specially the younger generations, they just use it because it sounds cool.

i always wonder how good people at finding various offences and fascims everywhere.

i bet that such people are glad to censor Hašek's "The Good Soldier Švejk", 'cause "Hašek makes fun of the great human tragedy: the war!"
