D is dead (was: Dicebot on leaving D: It is anarchy driven development in all its glory.)

[lurker]

after the beta i tried it the final again - just to be fair.

1.) install d, install visual d.
2.) trying to to look at options under visual d without a project 
crashes VS2017 - latest
     service pack.
3.) VS2017 - displays a problem on startup
4.) creating the dummy project - compile for x64. error something 
is missing.
5.) deinstall everything and wait for another year

this crap does not even work out of the box - what else is not 
tested in D?

i guess you don't intend to draw crowds to D and just keep 
talking on how to this and that a little better in the compiler 
pet project.

is D that dead that the releases are not tested or do you want to 
keep all windows users out?
