Yes, various high demands have driven out D contributors.
We don't need to be absolutely right from the beginning, we need 
to meet countless needs from the beginning. And many proposals 
and requirements are ruined before we even try them out.

All kinds of prohibitions, all kinds of prohibitions, so 
contributors and users all ran away.

The simplest thing is that C++ users want a private that is only 
private to the class.

But, just not letting you have it, it doesn't meet D's perfect 
feeling?

The problem can be solved simply by adding a switch! They just 
don't want your users to be satisfied.

So the user ran, the contributor ran!
