Is there an intention to 'finish' D2?

For the time, perhaps not. But in hindsight, all C++ did, was to 
'add onto' a language that provided very little in terms of 
safety guarantees.

D is inheriting all of that too, while adding on to it.

A lot of the code in the future, will need formal safety 
guarantees, and at some point, I wouldn't be surprised if 
countries start passing legislation to mandate this (well, they 
already do this in some industries anyway).

D cannot provide such guarantees.. and will never be in a 
position to do so.

I suppose what I'm getting at, is D really a language I'd 
recommend to the CIO?

Or is it just nice to play around with.

I'd say that latter, in which case.. (to get back on topic).. who 
really cares when D2 is finished ;-)
