Even languages with 15 years of development are filled with mistakes and tons of problems (so much that Bjarne Stroustrup wisely says: "There are just two kinds of languages: the ones everybody complains about and the ones nobody uses."). So all smart technical readers get suspicious when they read a text that shows mostly good sides. I believe such suspects are a risk worse than the risk of showing "disunity within the community".

Thank you. Nearly always I try to avoid the limelight. This time it may a bit different, but advertising my blog was not my main purpose.

I may even ask you again to remove the link to my site from Phobos2 documentation, to avoid possible future troubles. You have written all the code, I don't want recognition: having a good Phobos2 is more than enough for me :-)
