Andrei Alexandrescu:

I think it's safe to close it. Nullable types have not enjoyed a lot of appreciation in C#.

On the other hand they have gained appreciation in almost every one of the other recent languages, as F#, Scala, Rust, and few Java-Like languages running on the JavaVM, so this is a not small failure point of D. I think all type-rich languages that will be designed in future will have nonnullable typing. D is old-school on this.

Bye,
