D needs a programming blog and some house keeping

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d]

The core problem is that the Rust community has resources to do things
like:

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/announcing-the-community-subteam/2248

whereas D seems not to. Go, like Rust, gets marketing budget both
directly and indirectly.

These days programming language take up and traction has almost, but
not quite, nothing to do with technical issues, it is about marketing
and in some cases hype.

Whereas I am starting a push to use D and Chapel from Python, Rust is
already there in the minds of the CFFI people. Go has a poor play in
this area: current idiom is use separate processes rather than link
directly.
