Sorry, this is as correct as saying that Albert Einstein was not 
a science guy. He's the only known person to have single-handedly 
written a C++ compiler from ground up.

Walter has been pushing DIP1000, `@safe`, purity and functional 
programming (when they were new features to D), transitive 
`const`/`immutable`, compile time function execution, and these 
are far from the only examples. All of these are bleeding-edge 
features that are found in few older languages and far from every 
new language either. So much for this idea.

We have plenty of those. Both of our pull request managers are 
great examples.

Your criticism is missing the target so badly that it's hard to 
take your post seriously.
