I don't think you need to regret saying anything. You've
demonstrated a willingness to engage in a conversation that we
can *all* learn from.
I also doubt anyone actually got offended ;-)
.. we're all pretty strong minded here.
But I get back to my point about "programmer" portability.
Other developers of newer languages just don't seem to get that.
And it's hardly surprising that D would be focused in some way,
on languages used by the vast majority of programmers
(C/C++/Java/C#... and dare I say it..python)
That is D's great strength. (and betterc is just a part of it -
and not one that particulary interests me).
Because D resources are rather contstrained, betterc gets more
push back than it really should. But the main take away point I
get from that vision statement, is a greater focus on increasing
contributions - which is really what D needs more than anything
(apart from a correct and complete language specification).
