Congratulations. I must profess that over the last couple of months
I've been feeling a big uptick of enthusiasm about D2. It is really
quit an amazing language and with library and tool support should be
able to deliver what C, C++, Java, C# (and lately Go) have not.
I did go through a period of skepticism about D leadership when I
realized that D2 was not really backwards compatible with D1 and had
trouble understanding why llvm hasn't played a bigger role in the long
term planning of the project. I have since come around to the point of
view that my fears were mostly misplaced...D2 is something quite special
and I think ultimately will take hold.
Ok, enough gushing :-).
