I agree that D1 is getting its fair share of attention, and I support the 
earlier post that suggested getting in there and making contributions 
yourself if you don't like the rate of progress in your personal area of 
interest.

D (especially D2 ;-) ) is far and away the best language I have ever 
worked with already, and I think the team needs to be congratulated for 
its efforts. I'm embarrassed that I can't contribute more because of 
other commitments, but when I do, it is done as constructively as 
possible.
