Agreed, particularly with the word „fascinating“.

I think the whole forking situation is kinda sad. This fork will 
probably go nowhere, that something that had been proven time and 
time again unfortunately. And I‘m afraid for dlang it will be a 
net negative too.

I just reread the whole thread and I think in the first 4 to 5 
pages the discussion stayed mostly on topic. But then the 
discussion first got a little more confrontational when some 
senior dlang people joined the discussion. Subsequently the 
entire discussion was basically ended by drowning it in technical 
detail for the next 5 pages.

To be honest it is hard for me  to see the end goal of this 
strategy. What makes it so hard to discuss this fork and engage 
on topic? Why not let them at least have their discussion?
