It's just one opinion. Others will use Python, because Guido van Rossum 
is not afraid to fix, change, and improve things, even in point 
releases.

I'd rather see D follow the Python path in this respect after D2 is 
finished, than the C++ 'the world freezes' approach. At times, it is 
inconvenient, but it also keeps a language and its library vital.
