In the keynote for the latest Ruby on Rails conference. The original 
creator of Ruby on Rails goes out and say: Yes, Rails 4 will break 
existing code. He also says that progress is good and one should keep a 
young mind.

I can assure you that Ruby on Rails has vastly more commercial 
developers than D has.

What I mean is that that process of improving the language most not stop 
and should always continue. It's just the process how that is made that 
makes the big difference.
