No, as in, people 'not really' write D code that way, or no as in, it doesn't look like java, except that it does, because only it and javascript have idiomatic egyptian braces... ;)

I'm just saying, if it's code to be compared against other languages, then it should conform to the general standards of the language.

I've never seen D code use egyptian braces. Certainly the vast majority of D code doesn't. I don't care which, but stick with one as a 'standard'. D has clearly chosen C braces, not Java braces, all the standard libraries agree.

If you were going to publish some Java code using C braces, how would you feel about that?
