I don't think forking D is a going to work. I think the future of 
D depends on how the foundation is structured and how it 
operates. D needs a _strong_ and _inclusive_ organizer/leader to 
head the foundation. Without such a person it will be difficult 
to switch to a new gear. Finding such a leader would probably be 
the single-most important thing that could happen.

(Right now I have some hope for Carbon as a C++ alternative, but 
it is impossible to tell what Carbon will look like at this 
point. Not even when it comes to basic things like integer math. 
Carbon might be great, or it might not be great, or it might not 
happen at all. We'll see in 5-10 years…)
