When people say we have pattern matching and they use a template
to prove their point, it doesn't attract people, it drive them
away
When you still have to call enums like this
``MySuperLongInnerScope.MySuperLongEnum.MySuperLongValueA``, and
people tell you, just us ``with``, it drive people away
When you have a GC that is slower than GO's GC and people tell
you, it's the best and you should not care about allocations and
allocators stays in experimental for YEARS, then it drive people
away
When people tell you D is super fast at compiling code, but then
you try the most popular D library (VibeD) it tanks your compile
speed, it drive people away
It's the little things that stacks up, it's not longer 2004,
there are ton of languages nowadays, so the excuses you had
before are no longer valid
D needs a spring cleaning, then people will start to recognize D
for what it is, one of the greatest language!
For that to remain true, it needs to clean itself up and to catch
up with other languages
