This! I'm getting more and more disillusioned with D purely 
because of the constant feature creep. I just wish there was an 
actual goal for D2. When Rob Pike gets asked to add something 
(especially generics) he says "No, we're done.". This attitude 
breeds stability.

Keep all the other great ideas for D3 goals.

I've being using Go more and more and while it does have its 
shortcoming and is not as advanced as D (or as fast), it's easily 
understandable and gets stuff done. The built-in tools that ship 
with Go are particularly awesome.
