I agree with that, it sounds like consulting propaganda

D doesn't need more bureaucracy, it actually doesn't need at all, 
D needs developers who care about enhancing the language, and 
people with a vision for the future, so we can write proper stuff

- better enums

- tagged union

- pattern matching

- async

- nullable

- tuple/multiple return (deconstruction)

- allocators (don't do them as classes/interface for the love of 
god)

- implement GC as an allocator


What will IVY do about that list? other than suck up time and 
resources

Bunch of new languages coming, and the C part of D is still as 
old as C, untouched, and the Java/C# part of D is now behind 
Java/C#
