Wow, after all that, this is it? I think final by default would 
be an improvement, and I wish it had gone through, but it's not a 
big enough deal to make a new language.

That's being worked on with D right now, isn't it?

If you're not going to be very bold, what's the point of a D3? 
Let's really change stuff!

I think it's a huge uphill battle for a new language these days, 
and that there's more to be gained from fixing the current D and 
others, but I encourage you to design the next D.
