Point to the wall on the left side. That is what your talking

many people ( lots who left ). Its like asking Go for Generics.
And its very nice to see the "71% in the poll do not want
BetterC", well, screw them comment. So what is the point again
by asking people opinions? And sure, BetterC can be reused to
improve the D core but that is not what people want NOW. And
yet, its a priority when 71% say its not!
D simply is not equipped for dealing with people who come from
languages like C#, Ruby, PHP, Python, ... because too many
people here are C++ old timers ( yes, there are exceptions )
and they only think in that direction.
There is a lesson the be learned in this somewhere...
....
Again, D is not run by some corporation.
Nor is it a democracy - where majority rule. (read this sentence
over and over till you get it)
It's a language that develops because people are sufficiently
motivated to put in the time to develop what interests them.
Have your say and leave it at that. Stop attacking the work
others are doing.
And stop your discriminatory use of the phrase 'old timers'.
