Hope is usually the last thing to die. But one has to be wise 
enough to see that sometimes there is nothing one can do. As 
things are now, for me personally D is no longer an option, 
because of simple basic things, like autodecode, a flaw that will 
be there forever, poor support for industry technologies 
(Android, iOS) and the constant "threat" of code breakage. The D 
language developers don't seem to understand the importance of 
these trivial matters. I'm not just opinionating, by now I have 
no other _choice_ but to look for alternatives - and I do feel a 
little bit sad.
