Sorry, that came out in an overly bleak way. The really REALLY 
good news, is that D has grown to the point where we are being 
forced to adapt to the growth. What we're hoping to achieve is a 
way that removes the limiters that are holding D back from 
further growth.

The "do or die" scenario only happens if D cannot continue to 
grow, and other competing languages take over, like Rust and 
perhaps Go. That's the only dire part to pay attention to, the 
optimistic point being that we are forced to grow because of D's 
success, not because of its failures.
