I should correct that.

The more I look at D, the more I like C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, 
Swift, Javascript .. and the list goes on..

All D needed to provide, was a way to let the programmer declare 
a private member inside a class. But that is too much for the 
language to handle, and so objectionable to many D users, that it 
will never happen. I have no problem with that, because, i really 
do have many other options - as do all the C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, 
Swift, Javascript .. and the list goes on..that you supposedly 
want to attract to D (although, I suspect nobody actually wants 
to attract them, since they'll expect to be able to declare a 
private member within a class.

So.. good luck with the .. ummm.. D thing.
