You mean like those where people are told, if you write a 
proposal it may get accepted. Then the author does all the work, 
writes the code changes, gets pushed to make more changes, gets 
ignored over time and loses interest, only for year later it 
showing up again and the process repeats? And nothing gets done 
to the point the author simply moved on to other languages. Yes, 
those have been very successful ( sarcasm ) in persuading people 
to put time into D development.

D has a bad track record with implementations of proposals, even 
when the actual code has been written. There has always been a 
standard: Walter writes it, its going to get accepted with a high 
ratio in one form or another. Somebody who is not a core member, 
well ...

But this is my last response on this. Moving on to a different 
language because from my point of view, D will not be very open / 
marketing focused to non C++ developers. And some people seem 
very willing to push people there buttons when topics like this 
come up. As we see in this topic. I regret that the actions of 
few constantly ruin the work of others ( to bring people in ). 
What seems to be a recurring theme.

But let bygones be bygones. Good fortune to you all.
