It's not as much of a mess than people make it out to be, and certainly not insurmountable with a good platform library (like Qt). Much can be said for "entertainment value" of various languages like Haskell, Ocaml, Lisp, but D seems to be missing that niche and trying to tackle the C++ / C# / Java gorilla (of "serious" statically typed languages).
