Dear Dejan,

Thank you so much for your kind words about G Language! It means 
a lot to me, especially coming from someone in the D community 
that I respect.

You raised excellent points about what G needs:

1. **Standard Library Expansion** - You're absolutely right. I'm 
prioritizing:
    - Database connectivity (starting with SQLite, then PostgreSQL)
    - JSON/XML parsing modules
    - HTTP client for web APIs
    - File format utilities (CSV, etc.)

2. **Embedding API** - This is a fantastic idea. I'm researching:
    - How to expose G as a D library
    - Bidirectional calling (D ↔ G)
    - Memory sharing between environments

3. **Package Ecosystem** - I'll enhance `flex` to support:
    - More library categories
    - Better dependency management
    - Community package repository

## Current Focus:
I'm working on v5.7.7 with:
- Binary size reduction (target: <1.5MB)
- Bug fixes from community feedback
- Better error messages
- Performance improvements

## Question for You:
If you were to use G today, what specific task would you want to 
accomplish with it? This would help me prioritize features.

Thank you again for believing in this project. Feedback from 
experienced D developers like you is invaluable for a young 
language.
