D2 is really that stable as it is claimed to be?

A year or two ago it was a lot of wrong-code bugs with lambdas and 
nested functions making e.g. `std.algorithm` almost unusable. But it's 
only the beginning. OPTLINK bug causing random linking failures thus 
making the whole language unusable for real projects was fixed only 
about half a year ago.

And all this time I liked D except "the language is stable" words. And 
when half a year ago D become fully usable I become happy. For me 
"enough stability" is an ability to grab my copy of tool-chain and work 
with it without random failures.

Since then I had not any real problems with breaking changes or 
regressions. Generally regressions are fixed quickly and as for me the 
more breaking changes the better language we get. )
