I think the problem is, people are afraid that changes will hurt D. The
mentallity to improve D and make it awsome is lost (at least if feels
like it), now all what is left "WE NEED TO MAKE D PRODUCTION
READY!!!1111111 COMPANIES USE D!!!!1111" which makes sense, but one
shouldn't forget why D was "invented", to improve the programming
situation and craft a language which is superior to all others and which
allows to write simple clean but yet powerful code!
