Again you make an authoritarian statement "Engaging on this 
matter will be just a waste of time.".

Nobody has to waste their time, they don't have to read.

There is no way _you_ can know what leads to a change that will 
bring the necessary changes that makes D competitive.

D added @nogc YEARS ago, because I pushed the point that the GC 
would never be a viable option for real time programmers.  But we 
still have no competitive memory management on paper. That's two 
years too late. We should have been implementing it now.

D needs a competitive solution to Rust and C++ before C++ 
compilers implement the next generation C++ features. That might 
be next year?

I would love to get rid of C++, but I increasingly believe that 
this will not be a rational option. That's sad, because C++ is a 
nuisance.

You cannot focus on D without changing the process. Meaning: give 
critical features higher priority than "low hanging fruit".
