I'm not sure what so hard to understand about the term "golden 
age" but I get the impression people here think I was dishing out 
an insult to D2. I'm not. I'm just being realistic. Johnathan 
mentions that D3 won't even be considered for years and that's 
the amount of time I think it'll take before D2 fixes all it's 
problems keeping it from becoming widely adopted: shared objects, 
IDE tools, ARM (Android/iOS), third party libraries, etc.. thus 
me saying that D3 will bring the _golden age_ of D. Meaning it's 
the age where all the university and programming jobs are focused 
on D.

I'm not being pessimistic here, I'm being optimistic.
