Is there an intention to 'finish' D2?

Yes, if D ranks its own problems on a list and give them high 
priority then they can be solved.

If weaknesses are brushed under the carpet, like having a 
compiler that does not manage memory properly, then they can't 
solve the problems.

But they should never complain that they lack manpower. I and 
others with me warned strongly against not giving the highest 
priority to compiler backed memory management over seven years 
ago, and made it clear that other (then small) languages would 
rob them of users and manpower. It was made very explicit, so 
they knew, but ignored it. It was made clear repeatedly that this 
outcome was easy to predict. People here think that is trolling. 
The reality is that when many independently say it in these 
forums then it is not noise, it is a very strong signal. Because 
most users who feel the same, don't say it. So if 30 people say 
it, then maybe 3000 feel it.

Take care, and have fun with D and other languages! You can use 
as many as you like :-)
