Thank you. I  appreciate this write up. I had been this forum 
about two years now. I like the D language, for me, it is the 
best language I have come across. I have a look into languages 
like Kotlin, Java, C#, C++, C, Go, Rust etc.

I know D has room for a lot of improvements and I see the various 
stakeholders are doing their best with the little resources 
available.




My major problem with D is the critical community. It is 
discouraging to cope with. This forum is too critical about D 
challenges and says little or nothing about the strength of D. 
Most of the post here is about why D cannot succeed or be used. 
The organizer should do something about such a post. Just Google 
Dlang and reads the comments about the language, you will be 
discouraged to go further. But most of the comments are not true 
as I start learning D. Dlang is a beautiful language that is easy 
to use.


I think the community should put out an article about D outline 
all the strength in a compelling way especially from proven 
industry users.
