- poor quality of DMD:
   - no closures in CTFE
   - uses a lot of memory (>2GB to compile simple lib) - I had to 
do some workarounds to avoid OutOfMemory exception
   - unexpected behavior ([latest 
example](https://forum.dlang.org/thread/qgtgzwosimucsixyhodo@forum.dlang.org))
- no roadmaps, timelines, milestones in evolution of D - what to 
expect in the future and when(!) - this brings a question: is 
there any commitment to improve the language/compiler/std?
- I'd like to offer my help in improving but it's not obvious 
what to start with since I have no experience in writing 
compilers. I did few simple things but I don't see how I can help 
besides that.
