I should correct that.
The more I look at D, the more I like C++, C#, Java, Kotlin,
Swift, Javascript .. and the list goes on..
All D needed to provide, was a way to let the programmer
declare a private member inside a class. But that is too much
for the language to handle, and so objectionable to many D
users, that it will never happen. I have no problem with that,
because, i really do have many other options - as do all the
C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Javascript .. and the list goes
on..that you supposedly want to attract to D (although, I
suspect nobody actually wants to attract them, since they'll
expect to be able to declare a private member within a class.
So.. good luck with the .. ummm.. D thing.
Even if D did have the private feature, the ecosystem and
community is too small for this language to be a viable option.
Also D is not used on the job market, so good luck finding a D
job.
