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

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)
The D Language Foundation, being the leading body of D, should
hold some responsibility to the interests of the majority.
It is not a dictatorship (read this sentence over and over till
you get it).
