You went ad-hominem. That has been a plague of these forums for 
years. Unfortunately there is no real forum moderation policy in 
place, and frankly key developers have had a tendency to go down 
this road quite frequently, but moving from something technical 
to something personal is not in the spirit of engineering, and 
should be avoided, no matter how much you dislike the presented 
positions. Most people in this thread have presented reasonable 
positions.

But D is moving slowly in the critical area of memory management, 
which really is a prerequisite for being a real alternative for 
many developers. On the other hand, D is moving, so that is a 
good thing, but I really hope that the D community don't scare 
off people with the theoretical knowledge to make it work. 
Without those people there is a very slim chance of getting it 
right.

Other languages are moving to, in this thread Nim has been 
highlighted, so comparing Nim's situation to D's situation ought 
to be on-topic for this thread. I don't really understand why you 
want Chris to sugar-coat his views. Again, I really hope that the 
D community don't scare off people with the theoretical knowledge 
to design memory management solutions that works well.
