D2 Closure

[Steve Teale]

Just a few days ago, Walter was talking about 'the final feature'. Andrei 
is going through the tedious and unpleasant process of finalizing TDPL 
with his publisher. In a minute it will be March, so to get anything 
finalized by the summer of 2010 is already looking like a stretch.

Now we have a whole new slew of suggestions for change.

I think that at some point the membership of digitalmars.D needs to 
accept that there is a deadline, and that further discussion of the ideal 
language refers to D3.

Another provocative way of thinking about this is that D2 is already 'E', 
unless the faithful users of D1 and Tango are to be unceremoniously 
dumped. In that case, the discussions that have suddenly flared up now 
are about 'F'.

Time to choose. Will D ever be a widely used programming language, or is 
it just a excellent vehicle for discussion of programming language 
features?
