tooling quality and some random rant

Let's try to act civil here. Walter bashing is already getting old and mostly favored by our famous Reddit trolls, that is retard = uriel = eternium = lurker. I wouldn't be shocked to hear this Alan Smithee is another sockpuppet of yours, dear "retard".

I already did mention eating your own dog food. On the other hand it's crystal clear that such a task as writing a language and its compiler without any support from anyone is something only a handful of developers can and are willing to pursue on this planet. As a result D is one of the best languages ever built. I honestly wish we wouldn't question Walter's competence. He only has so much time. All this hate talk here pushes release dates farther away. We would already have a 64-bit compiler if you didn't rant so much.
