Sorry I wrote from my phone and my spellchecker has done some 
weird job.

So I rephrase:

Do not plan to get an answer

This kind of question is asked every years since at least 10
years ago.

I am remind that at beginning of dlang v2 it was :
«it is not our fault, the war tango vs photos as stdlib just 
broke our
community. We need a killer application à la Ruby on rails.»

Now it is not one killer application but a set of software
environments on web, Big data, security, gui, games...
How they Can Do it, in 10 years we didn't get a killer 
application so a set …?

To remember D is born in 2001 and Rust ...

Instead, to add new features … maybe would b a good idea to waste 
some time on one of
previous topic describe above in order to get a chance to be more 
heavily used...

I remember a time to where Facebook use D to replace c++ code
but now ...
