I've been thinking about this for about 9000 years now and I 
think tooling is the answer. Why? Because developers are used to 
it now. And are lazy.

When I first came to D from C# I was just screaming into the 
void. Where was my static analysis, intellisense and refactoring 
tools.

I don't know what made me continue my journey, but I'm glad I did.

With that said though, for D to succeed we need better tooling 
around the language.
