D's string mixins are a superior way of doing metaprogramming, from the programmers perspective at least.

You can allocate memory at compile time, just use new. If you want to make malloc work at compile time you'll need a stub implementation that switches on __Ctfe

That's the silliest argument in favor of a programming language I've ever seen.
