Those questions aren't fully rhetorical because I don't know 
those answers and I'd like to know. I don't know why Walter 
thinks removing bit intrisics is more urgent than working on 
designing/implementing "scope" or similar things, I don't know 
why D1 development isn't discontinued yet (and I don't know why 
the pull requests are merged according to a mostly LIFO pattern), 
and so on.

Given the many factors in this equation, I think my time is 
better spent elsewhere, teaching D to people in Real Life, 
showing D solutions to people in sites (like: 
reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/ ), writing D examples/tutorials in 
various sites, etc, because there's no point in creating a 
language that no one knows about.

This page shows many missing D programs, I invite people here to 
fill some of those blanks:
