a. I think this is the third loop round the same content with a
slightly different group of contributors each time.

b. FFS the SDL syntax is so trivial a 2 year old could comprehend it –
which is the whole point.

c. Neither SDL nor JSON will be a barrier to anyone coming to D
especially if they use rdmd. Unless, of course, the D community decide
to use the obvious complexity of SDL and JSON a weapon in the fight to
keep new people out of the D community.
