Georges Toutoungis shared his D user experience on the D blog. He went from being excited, to dismissive, to using D to implement an HFT and never looking back.

This is cool! However, the reddit comments are a trash fire as usual, and I hope most people skip them after reading the article, directly trying D instead.

He chose to eschew Phobos, which means he lost quite a bit of the power of D, even in a low latency environment. And he still found D to be a clear improvement over not only C, but C++. That's remarkable IMO.
