According to the State of D Survey, 71% of the respondents
don't care about betterC. Why is betterC on the priority list?
Just ignore it. And don't forget the primary betterC's goal.
It was never designed to please some C developers to take profit
from D without dealing with D full runtime but to help migrating
from historical C/C++ compiler backend to a fully D native
compiler backend.
The objective is to obtain bootstraping and get rid of all other
language's dependencies, which will be a huge advantage and
advertising for D use and in extenso, D community and
penetration-market.
Convincing C developpers to try out betterC is "just" a temporary
(and positive) side-effect.
