d future or plans for d3

[Ruslan Mullakhmetov]

  I do not want to make a flame over D vs C++11.

  I answered else thread on some differences of C++11 vs D, but i agree 
with you that i was a little bit in a hurry.

  After rechecking i remembered constraints, static compilation (static 
if), contract programming, functional programming. perhaps i skipped 
something.

  For those features you mentioned:
    - templates are know quite sane, but D still outperforms it. The 
question is how many people would benefit from this difference.
    - thread local variables: thread local storage (though not default)
    - message passing implemented via libraries: boost.task?
    - immutables are only needed for functional programming which in 
turn necessary for parallelizing / distributed applications / formal 
verification. I don't know, does D (compiler) utilize it?

  Once again, i'm not trying to make a holywar. I'm D lover myself. But 
a lot of people do not consider this benefits of D enough to shift to 
it as for my opinion and experience.
