I don't know if you guys have realized but D is heading towards a 
similar direction too. A lot of the language's features are half 
baked plus parts of the language are only known well by few 
people. Including why certain things work the way they work.

Example will be when to use immutable or const, in or const 
(const scope?),...

I'm afraid certain things are been introduced without careful 
consideration of how it affects or relates to previous features. 
Too many ways of doing same things with sometimes slight 
differences doesn't help the language's future.

Too many unfinished masterpieces.
