Making an analysis of project as an artifact is not "ad hominem"
Expressing an opinion on your knowledge of a subject is not "ad
hominem" either. A few posts ago, Manu wrote "I don't think you
have made a game" = "I don't think you have the same amound of
knowledge of the game industry". That is not ad hominem.
You think that Andrei telling you to "do something" is "ad
hominem". Again, it's not. He is just stating that sometimes
talking is not enough. If you really care about knowing how many
people are interested in getting a runtime D, open a voting pool
somewhere on the internet, link it in a proper thread in the
announce section, and try to see what results you get, try to
interpret them and so on.
If you believe the people here can achieve something great, you
should try to help coordinating the community. It's true that we
lack organization basics. Are you knowledgeable about the
subject? Are you interested in helping the community? If your
answer is "yes" to bot questions, than you should really do
something, and I talking about non-coding stuff. Being a top
contributor is not a requirement for helping in a tangible way.
I the case of D, it is not clear.
It is not clear if there is enough momentum in the D community
to sustain a real-time D either.
It's a community effort. AA and WB are not leaders in the strict
sense. As I already told you, if you want to contribute by
helping coordinating efforts, I think all of us would be really
happy about that.
