If i had not raised, and continually pursued this idea, it would 
have never got to 1k ;-)

D is too complex and has to many unfinished ideas in it, to 
accept any new ideas, it seems. How sad.

Core are too stuck in there ways, and seemed focused on 
programming in the small.

D also suffers (and will continually suffer) from bringing too 
much of C along with it. It'll constrain it.. forever.

Because of all this (and more), other languages have already 
bypassed D, any many will continue to do so.

I personally, cannot make the case for using D any longer.
