Andrei Alexandrescu:

The "perpetual design" stage of D has ended. We've made our bed, it's time to lie in it.

If you don't change your bed once in a while, it will start to smell. A language dies if it doesn't keep a subgroup of people for its design, and when necessarily its redesign.

Adapted from Simon Peyton Jones: ~We should avoid D success at all costs~


I foresee only one more area of possible breakage - thread support, and hopefully only code that was already broken should cease to compile.

There is also to fix the small mess with tuples. I suggest to deprecate some usages of the comma. And there are few more small things to fix.

Bye,
